2017 Map of Alsen

About this map

Alsen serves as the primary hub for this Cavalier County landscape, situated at the junction of 84th St NE and 4th Ave. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of small wetlands and potholes, a characteristic feature of the regional prairie hydrology. This area contains significant markers for genealogical research, notably the Alsen Cem located just south of the main settlement and the Rosehill Mennonite Brethren Cem situated further north along 90th St NE. The road system, including Lake Rd and numerous section-line routes like 89th Ave NE, follows a strict grid that illustrates the late-era persistence of the Public Land Survey System. The map traces the boundaries of several townships, including t160n r62w and t161n r62w, reflecting the organized agricultural layout of north-central North Dakota.
