2020 Map of Churchs Ferry

About this map

Churchs Ferry stands as a focal point in this portion of the northern plains, positioned at a critical junction of local transport and drainage near the border of Benson and Ramsey counties. The landscape is dominated by a complex hydrological network where the Mauvais Coulee feeds into the expansive Lake Irvine, which occupies a significant portion of the eastern map area. These water bodies, along with Lake Alice to the north, reflect the glacial prairie pothole region's character, where seasonal water levels dictate the use of the surrounding land. Local infrastructure, including Elevator Rd and the Churchs Ferry Cem, points to a long-standing agricultural community structured around the township and range survey system. The town's grid, featuring Orvis Ave and 3rd St, serves as the primary hub for the sparsely populated rural stretches extending toward Towner County.
