2011 Map of Blue Hill

About this map

Blue Hill stands as the primary namesake landmark in this corner of Ward County, defining a landscape marked by the precise grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals an agrarian layout where North Dakota's section lines have dictated the placement of local thoroughfares like 29th St NW and 50th Ave NW. These roads connect scattered homesteads and farming operations that characterize the region's rural development. While the terrain is relatively open, the inclusion of intermittent water features and local drainage patterns provides a look at the natural hydrology that local farmers have navigated for generations. This 2011 edition serves as a clear record of the modern road network, including routes like 24th St NW, before subsequent shifts in the regional energy or agricultural economy.
