2014 Map of Aurelia

About this map

Aurelia anchors this northern Dakota landscape, situated within a topography defined by seasonal drainages and a strictly defined agricultural grid. The terrain is marked by notable depressions and coulees, including Bowman Coulee in the northwest and Jack Power Coulee to the northeast, which carve subtle relief into the prairie. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial organization of the region, where the section-line road network remains the primary infrastructure for the dispersed farming community. A significant site for local history is the Moravian Cem, located central to the quadrangle and south of the main settlement. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Mountrail County and Ward County, a line that runs vertically through the western portion of the sheet, influencing the layout of local roads like 74th St NW and 240th Ave NW.
