2011 Map of Barrie

About this map

The Sheyenne River meanders across this rural landscape, carving a winding path through the agricultural heart of Richland County. This topographic survey captures the area surrounding the small settlement of Barrie, where the local road network follows a strict sectional grid characteristic of the Great Plains. The map provides essential details for genealogists and local historians, specifically the location of Gol Cemetery situated along the eastern reaches of the river. The infrastructure is defined by a series of numbered section lines and rural routes, such as County Rd 3, which facilitate transport between the isolated farmsteads and fields that dominate this portion of North Dakota. The relationship between the natural hydrology of the river and the precise human-imposed grid of the township reflects the enduring character of this farming region.
