2017 Map of Absaraka

About this map

Absaraka serves as the primary settlement center in this portion of Empire Township, where the transition from rural agricultural plots to a structured village is clearly defined by the intersection of Main St and 147th Ave SE. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling drainage of Swan Cr, which meanders across the northern sections of the townships. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a modern township-and-range grid system, where section lines are strictly followed by a network of local roads such as Co Rd 3 and Co Rd 10. A notable point of local infrastructure is the Punton Private Airport situated near the northern border, while further south, the label for Magnolia indicates a secondary point of interest along the established rural corridors. The map provides a precise look at the land division and hydraulic patterns of central North Dakota.
