2020 Map of Brantford

About this map

James River headwaters meander through this prairie landscape on the border of Eddy and Foster counties. The small settlement of Brantford serves as the local hub, situated where Railroad Ave and Co Rd 10 converge. This area reflects the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, with a network of section-line roads like 74th Ave NE and 12th St NE providing access to the surrounding farmstead tracts. Genealogy researchers will find significant landmarks at the Brantford Cem and the Kvernes Lutheran Church Cem, which stand as markers of the region's Scandinavian heritage and early rural community life. To the southeast, the terrain softens into the depressions of Rusten Slough, illustrating the characteristic pothole topography of the North Dakota plains.
