2014 Map of Alsen

About this map

Alsen serves as the primary hub of this rural landscape in Cavalier County, situated at the junction of 4th Ave and several major section-line roads. The area is defined by its characteristic prairie pothole topography, with numerous small depressions and seasonal water bodies scattered across the agricultural grid. This 2014 survey documents the enduring layout of the region's transport network, including 91st St Ne and 89th Ave Ne, which provide access to the expansive farmsteads of the north-central plains. The mapping of routes like 92nd St Ne and 85th St Ne highlights the precise geometry of the township-and-range system that has organized this part of North Dakota since initial settlement. For genealogists and researchers, the map provides a contemporary view of the land parcels and rural intersections that define the surroundings of this small northern community.
