2011 Map of Columbus SW

About this map

Prairie Chapel Cemetery stands as a central landmark in this portion of Divide County, reflecting the early spiritual and communal life of the northern plains. This area of North Dakota is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines, including 100th St NW and 102nd Ave NW, which illustrate the systematic land division that governed settlement patterns. The subtle drainage of West Branch Short Creek winds through the landscape, providing a natural interruption to the geometric agricultural blocks. The map reveals a high-plains environment where infrastructure is sparse but essential, connecting distant farmsteads through a vast network of numbered gravel roads and section trails that have remained largely unchanged for decades.
