2011 Map of Abercrombie

About this map

Red River of the North snakes through this borderland landscape, defining the winding boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota. The river's dense oxbows and meanders dominate the geography, flanked by the smaller currents of Whisky Creek and the Wild Rice River. Settled life centers on the village of Abercrombie, where Main St and Broadway form the local core. Across the river in Minnesota, the small settlement of McCauleyville and the town of Kent provide a window into the rural community structure of the early 21st century. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked Saint Thomas Cemetery and McCauleyville Cemetery, while the presence of the Kent Post Office highlights the area's continued role as a local service hub for the surrounding agricultural plains.
