2011 Map of Alice

About this map

The settlement of Alice serves as the primary hub of activity in this prairie landscape, where the grid-based road system intersects with the town's central thoroughfares of Main Ave and 8th Ave. The terrain is defined by the meandering course of the Maple River, which winds through the western portion of the region, creating a stark visual contrast to the straight section lines of the surrounding agricultural fields. On the eastern edge, Buffalo Creek and the small basin of Lake Bertha provide additional water features in an area otherwise dominated by a network of rural roads such as 138th Ave SE and 40th St SE. The map illustrates a classic North Dakota township pattern where the natural drainage of the river systems still dictates the local geography despite the rigid overlay of the section grid.
