2011 Map of Alexandria

About this map

East Writing Rock Cemetery sits near the southwestern corner of this Divide County landscape, providing a primary point of reference for genealogists and local historians. The surrounding terrain is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, where north-south routes like 140th Ave NW and 138th Ave NW intersect east-west roads such as 100th St NW and 93rd St NW. This network facilitates travel across a prairie environment dotted with numerous small lakes and depressions characteristic of the region. County Hwy 3 serves as the central north-south thoroughfare, anchoring the rural transportation pattern at the start of the 21st century. The sparse distribution of named sites reflects the open, agricultural character of this corner of North Dakota.
