2020 Map of Balfour

About this map

Balfour anchors this McHenry County landscape, situated where the high ground of Hogback Ridge gives way to the broad Wintering River Flats. The town's grid is defined by historical thoroughfares like Sahr Ave and Railroad Ave, reflecting its alignment with the regional transport corridors of central North Dakota. Beyond the settlement, the Wintering River meanders through the prairie, creating a distinct topographical break in the surrounding township sections. Genealogists and local historians can find the Balfour Cem located just southwest of the town center. The map reveals the precise layout of the rural road system, from Central Ave N to numerous numbered section lines, illustrating the enduring agricultural organization of this high plains region in the modern era.
