2014 Map of Alexandria

About this map

E Writing Rock Cem stands as a solitary historic anchor in the southwestern corner of this Divide County landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau, creating a complex natural drainage pattern that dictates the placement of the section-line road grid. Major local thoroughfares such as CR-7 and 100th St NW provide the primary framework for movement through this agricultural region. The map reveals the meticulous organization of the high plains, where long stretches of gravel roads like 141st Ave NW and 93rd St NW trace the edges of productive fields and natural wetlands, illustrating the enduring relationship between the township-and-range survey system and the prairie environment.
