2020 Map of Alfred

About this map

Alfred serves as the primary settlement on this section of the Great Plains, located near the border of Logan and LaMoure Counties. The surrounding landscape is defined by the high concentration of prairie potholes and wetlands typical of the Missouri Coteau region, including Arnies Lake and the drainage of Cottonwood Creek. The township structure is clearly defined by a grid of rural roads such as 55th St SE and 63rd St SE, which provide access to isolated farmsteads and historical burial sites. Genealogists will find the Alfred Cemetery near the townsite and the Postal Cemetery in the southern reaches of the map, both representing the enduring heritage of the local farming community.
