2020 Map of Bremen

About this map

Bremen sits in the northern reaches of Wells County, where the upper James River snakes through a landscape defined by the Public Land Survey System's rigid grid. This 2020 map documents a rural prairie environment where modern recreation and deep-rooted community history coexist. The N Country National Scenic Trail winds across the northern townships, cutting through the section lines of t149n r69w and t149n r68w. Local genealogy and historical settlement patterns are anchored by sites such as the Saint Josephs Catholic Cem in the east and the German Baptist Cem to the south. The map's detail reveals the sparse but intentional infrastructure of the North Dakota plains, from the small landing at Lill Strip to the network of numbered section roads like Co RD 5 and Co RD 6 that facilitate travel through this agricultural region.
