2017 Map of Cando

About this map

Cando serves as the primary hub of this North Dakota landscape, showing a grid of residential streets including Main St, 9th St, and Atkins Dr. To the south, the smaller settlement of Maza sits along the road and rail corridor, reflecting the sparse, organized agricultural development of Towner County. The area's social history is recorded in its burial grounds, from the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Sacred Heart Catholic Cem near the northern town, to the secluded Olson Cem further south. The terrain is characterized by the prairie pothole geography typical of the region, where numerous small wetlands are interspersed with larger water bodies like Big Coulee in the northeast and the northern reaches of Lake Alice at the bottom of the sheet. Transportation is anchored by the Cando Municipal Airport and a strictly defined system of section-line roads.
