2016 Map of Wheaton West

About this map

The boundary between Minnesota and South Dakota defines the western edge of this landscape, where the waters of the Big Slough collect and drain toward the Mustinka River. Near the western outskirts of Wheaton, the terrain is marked by a grid of rural roads and the meandering path of Eighteenmile Cr, which cuts across the prairie towards the Wheaton Municipal Airport. This area represents a critical hydrological junction where agricultural drainage systems meet natural riverbeds in the Red River Valley. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Nelson Cem, located near the intersection of 630th Ave and 660th St. The map illustrates the transition from the structured residential blocks of Wheaton to the sprawling section lines of the surrounding townships, providing a clear record of the region's land use and water management infrastructure.
