2014 Map of Adrian

About this map

The James River winds through the heart of the North Dakota prairie, carving a distinct valley that defines the landscape around the small settlement of Adrian. This 2014 survey illustrates the region's agricultural grid, where a network of section roads like 89th Ave SE and 56th St SE crisscross the plains. The terrain is further shaped by the intermittent drainage of Dry Creek, which meanders from the west toward the river basin. The map highlights the intersection of local infrastructure and natural waterways, notably where CR-63 follows the ridge line and enters the river valley. The placement of the namesake townsite relative to these geographical markers offers a clear view of how water sources and transportation routes dictated the development of these rural communities.
