2020 Map of Alexandria

About this map

The Township of Alexandria presents a stark and rhythmic landscape of the North Dakota prairie, defined by a rectilinear grid of section lines and gravel roads. In the southwest corner, the East Writing Rock Cem serves as a critical point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this corner of Divide County. The terrain is dotted with numerous small wetlands and potholes characteristic of the glaciated plains, with Rattler Lake standing out in the northwest. This 2020 edition documents the persistent agricultural structure of the region, where township and range lines like t162n r101w and t161n r101w organize the vast, open acreage into manageable parcels for dryland farming.
