2014 Map of Buxton

About this map

Buxton and Cummings serve as the primary anchors for this section of Traill County, illustrating a landscape defined by a rigid section-line grid typical of the Red River Valley. The topography is exceptionally flat, drained by the meandering course of Buffalo Coulee which cuts diagonally across the prairie. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites relative to its sparse population, identifying the East Immanuel Cem, West Immanuel Cem, Reeves Cem, and Cummings Cem. The transportation network is built around the north-south corridor of CR-81, with the street plan of Buxton featuring names like Broadway and Reeve Ave, while Cummings sits further south along Front St.
