2024 Map of Carrington West

About this map

Carrington anchors this Foster County landscape, showing the transition from the city’s gridded streets to the expansive prairie wetlands of central North Dakota. The Foster County Court House stands as a local landmark within the town, which is served by the Carrington Municipal Airport to the south. The surrounding terrain is defined by the meandering courses of Pipestem Creek and Little Pipestem Creek, which flow through a region characterized by numerous small glacial depressions and sloughs, such as Scotts Slough. For those tracing local heritage, the Riverdale Cem provides a specific point of reference in the rural township south of the city. Conservation efforts are evident in the Foster County Waterfowl Production Area near Russell Lake, highlighting the area's importance as a habitat within the prairie pothole region.
