2011 Map of Bisbee North

About this map

Perth and the northern edge of Bisbee anchor this agricultural landscape in Towner County, where the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System defines the movement of people and resources. Captured in 2011, the map reveals a prairie topography marked by numerous small, seasonal water bodies and depressions typical of the region's glacial history. Long, straight section roads like 92nd St NE and 85th St NE cross the territory, connecting isolated farmsteads to the primary arterial US Hwy 281. Genealogical interest is found at Perth Cemetery and Bisbee Cemetery, while the presence of Lyster Field near the southern boundary suggests the intersection of aviation with the local farming economy. The map illustrates a rural North Dakota community maintaining its structure through established town sites and a pervasive network of numbered gravel and paved roads.
