About this map

Wimbledon serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the local economy and geography were historically shaped by the rail line running along Railway St. The village layout is clearly defined by streets like Center St and Out St, anchored by a local Po that remains a vital point of interest for those researching the town's civic development. The surrounding countryside is divided by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including 97th Ave SE and 17th St SE, which provide access to family farmsteads and rural landmarks.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds, specifically Saint Boniface Cem and Prairie View Cem, which sit just outside the town limits. The natural topography is defined by scattered prairie potholes and wetlands, the most prominent being Mud Lake to the southeast. This survey also records the convergence of three counties—Stutsman, Griggs, and Barnes—illustrating the administrative boundaries that intersect this agricultural region.
