About this map

Buxton and the smaller settlement of Cummings are the primary centers of activity in this section of Traill County, positioned within the fertile Red River Valley landscape. The area is defined by its grid-based agricultural layout, where County Hwy-81 and a network of arterial roads like County Hwy-21 and County Hwy-7 connect isolated farmsteads and rural landmarks. The drainage of Buffalo Coulee meanders across the plain, providing the only significant break in the otherwise flat, patterned terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of several local burial grounds, including Reeves Cemetery on the edge of Buxton, Cummings Cemetery to the south, and the more remote East Immanuel Cemetery in the northeastern quadrant. Within Buxton itself, a small residential grid is established by streets such as Dunsmore Ave, Broadway, and West St, reflecting the typical organization of a small North Dakota prairie town serving its surrounding farming community.
