2014 Map of Coburn

About this map

The Sheyenne River snakes through the southern half of this landscape, carving a complex valley through the expansive Sheyenne National Grassland. This section of southeastern North Dakota is defined by the contrast between the protected grasslands and the rigid section-line road network that serves the surrounding agricultural territory. Near the western edge, the small settlement of Coburn sits along the northern reaches, while the Ylvisaker Bridge provides a critical crossing over the river's winding course. The map also delineates the boundary between Ransom Co and Richland Co, capturing the intersection of public land management and rural township structure in the early 21st century.
