2020 Map of Anamoose

About this map

Anamoose anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, where the town grid intersects with the section lines of McHenry County. The landscape is defined by the glacial depressions and wetlands characteristic of the region, most notably the central Aylmer Lake and the Antelope Lakes to the northeast. Near the settlement of Aylmer, the terrain rises into the broad Antelope Valley. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several local burial sites, including Saint Francis Xavier Cem, the Anamoose Baptist Cem, and the First Congregational Cem. The survey illustrates a highly organized section line road network, with routes like 36th St NE and 17 Ave NE forming a rigid geometric pattern across the prairie, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in North Dakota's agricultural heartland.
