2011 Map of Buxton NW

About this map

Cole Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape in Grand Forks County, providing a natural break in the strictly rectangular grid of the Red River Valley. The terrain is defined by its section-line roads, including 19th St and 14th St, which facilitate the movement of goods across the expansive farmland. This 2011 survey captures the rural infrastructure at a point of modernization, where established thoroughfares like County Hwy-23 and County Hwy-26 intersect the local road network. Near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, Calvary Cemetery serves as a localized landmark for genealogists and historians tracing the families who settled this fertile stretch of North Dakota. The map reflects a landscape dedicated to large-scale cultivation, where the only significant deviations from the cardinal grid are the natural curves of the creek and the occasional township road adjustments.
