2020 Map of Coburn

About this map

Coburn sits in the northwest corner of this prairie landscape where the grid of section roads meets the natural curves of the Sheyenne River. The southern half of the map is dominated by the Sheyenne National Grassland, a distinctive terrain of dunes and grasslands preserved for public use. Genealogists and local historians will find significant sites including the Johnson - Vangsnes Pioneer Cem and the Owego Lutheran Church Cem, both serving as touchstones for the early settlement of Ransom and Richland counties. The Sheyenne River is crossed by the Ylvisaker Bridge, and the N Country National Scenic Trail winds through the protected grasslands, following the topography of the river valley through sections 1, 6, and 7.
