2020 Map of Aurelia

About this map

The small settlement of Aurelia sits at a crossroads in the northern Great Plains, defined by a landscape of prairie potholes and agricultural section lines. This North Dakota survey documents a rural environment where the township and range system is strictly maintained by roads like 408th St NW and 212th Ave NW. Local history is anchored by the Aurelia Community Cem, while the terrain is marked by seasonal drainages including Bowman Coulee, Shipton Coulee, and Jack Power Coulee. The boundary between Mountrail County and Ward County bisects the western portion of the map, illustrating the administrative divisions that govern these farming communities. The numerous small wetlands scattered across the quadrangle highlight the region's post-glacial topography, which influences both field patterns and the path of routes like Co Hwy 6.
