2014 Map of Cavalier

About this map

The Cavalier townsite serves as the primary hub of this Red River Valley landscape, positioned where the Tongue River meanders through the flat agricultural plains of Pembina County. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road network typical of the region's homesteading history, with routes like Nd-18 and Nd-5 intersecting near the town's western edge. Rural life outside the central settlement is anchored by local landmarks such as Zion Cem, while the town itself features a Po and a distinct residential layout including Spruce Ln and Main St E. The drainage patterns of the Tongue River provide a stark contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding farmland, illustrating how natural waterways continue to influence land use and settlement placement in the northeastern corner of North Dakota.
