2014 Map of Claire City NE

About this map

North Dakota and South Dakota meet along a straight surveyor’s line in this 2014 study of the borderlands between Richland and Roberts counties. The landscape is defined by the high-plains section line grid, where gravel routes like Co Road 22 and 158th Ave SE crisscross a terrain dotted with prairie potholes and small depressions. This rural expanse preserves long-standing community landmarks such as Saint Pauls Cem and Ferkingstad Cem, which serve as primary anchors for local genealogy. The natural drainage of the region is traced through the slow-moving waters of Indian Slough and the winding course of the L Minnesot a R at the southern edge, illustrating the subtle hydrology of the Red River Valley’s western margins.
