2011 Map of Coburn

About this map

Sheyenne River meanders across this prairie landscape, carving a deep, winding valley through the township. The settlement of Coburn sits in the northwestern corner, defined by a rigid grid of rural roads such as 55th St SE and 146th Ave SE. A notable crossing of the waterway occurs at Ylvisaker Bridge, providing a critical connection for the agricultural network of Ransom County. The terrain transitions from the flat, cultivated uplands into the complex oxbows and floodplains of the river valley. This 2011 survey documents the modern layout of the rural road system, including 61st St SE, illustrating how late 20th-century transportation infrastructure has adapted to the natural path of the river.
