2011 Map of Alpha

About this map

Alpha sits at the heart of this rural North Dakota landscape, where the section-line grid of the western plains is interrupted by the meandering course of Bullion Creek. The creek's winding path provides a stark contrast to the rigid geometry of roads like Red Hills Rd and County Rd 11. This area, recorded in the early 21st century, reflects a enduring ranching economy, with named holdings such as Underwood Ranch in the north and Remillong Ranch near the southern border. The presence of Pipeline Rd cutting across the northern sections speaks to the infrastructure supporting regional energy transport. Local travel is facilitated by a network of numbered section roads, including Alpha Rd and 52nd St SW, which link the isolated homesteads and ranching operations across this open terrain.
