2020 Map of Burlington

About this map

The Souris River and the Des Lacs River converge near the town of Burlington, creating a landscape defined by sharp coulees and winding river valleys. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern layout of the community, where residential development transitions into the surrounding agricultural plateaus of Ward County. The map provides specific locations for local landmarks such as the Burlington Township Cem and the Emmanuel Lutheran Cem to the northeast, which are significant for family history research. Topographic details reveal the complex drainage patterns of the region, including Lloyds Coulee and Larsons Coulee, while local transportation is facilitated by routes like Co HWY 15 and Co HWY 10. Small private aviation sites, such as Pietschtree Airstrip and Behrens Airstrip, are also documented, reflecting the vast rural expanses between the river valleys.
