2011 Map of Burgess

About this map

Burgess and the surrounding plains of Morton County are defined by the meandering courses of East Fork Chanta Peta Creek and Louse Creek. This area of central North Dakota is characterized by a sparse, grid-like road network consisting of numbered avenues and streets like 64th St and 30th Ave, reflecting the systematic sectioning of the Great Plains. The landscape is punctuated by notable elevations such as Township Hill and Van Duesen Hill, which provide relief in this agricultural and prairie terrain. These features, along with routes like County Rd 82, reveal the infrastructure of a rural community at the start of the 21st century, where large tracts of land remain oriented around these essential waterways and high points.
