About this map

Arnegard serves as the central hub of this McKenzie County landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line in the late 1970s. The settlement's infrastructure is clearly defined, featuring a local Park and Sewage Disposal Ponds at its periphery. To the north, the Arnegard Dam regulates the flow of Timber Creek, which winds southward through the plains. The surrounding territory is organized into large tracts such as Patent Gate and Arnegard Ideal, reflecting the agricultural and land-grant history of the North Dakota prairie.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several vital community landmarks outside the main town site. Farland Ch stands in the northeast corner near Tobacco Garden Creek, while the Wilmington Cem is positioned east of the town center. These sites, along with the established rail corridor, document the rural social fabric and transportation networks that sustained this high-plains community during the decade.
