2020 Map of Atcoal

About this map

Atcoal and the surrounding prairie of northwestern North Dakota are defined by a grid-like network of rural roads such as 102nd St NW and 102nd Ave NW. This survey of the landscape at the Divide and Burke county line reveals a terrain heavily shaped by glacial potholes and small wetlands. A primary landmark for local history and genealogy is the Assembly of God Cem, located along a prominent east-west corridor near the southern edge of the quadrangle. Drainage for the area is facilitated by the W Br Short Cr, which meanders through the eastern sections, providing one of the few natural breaks in the otherwise structured township and range system. The map reflects a quiet agricultural region, where small-scale infrastructure like Summit Ave E serves as a link between isolated farmsteads and larger regional transit routes.
