2024 Map of Cooperstown West

About this map

The prairie landscape of Cooperstown and the small settlement of Shepard are depicted in this survey of Griggs County. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of sectional roads and a scatter of small wetlands typical of the North Dakota pothole region. A key historical landmark for genealogists is the Swedish Lutheran Cem, which reflects the Scandinavian immigrant heritage common to this part of the Great Plains. To the north, Lake Five serves as a prominent natural landmark amidst the agricultural grid. The map illustrates the contemporary layout of these rural townships, where traditional township-and-range lines like t146n r59w still dictate the flow of transportation and local land division.
