2011 Map of Coteau

About this map

Coteau and the surrounding Burke County plains are defined by the grid of rural section roads and the meandering path of Stony Creek as it winds toward the east. This northern North Dakota landscape in 2011 remains deeply tied to its agricultural roots, with small settlements like Bowbells and Coteau anchoring the local geography. Significant landmarks for local history include the Danish Cemetery, located north of the creek, and the Melby Private Airstrip. The drainage patterns of the region are marked by Shockley Slough, which collects water in the low-lying prairie depressions typical of this part of the state. The town plan for Coteau is clearly delineated with streets such as Washington St, Jefferson St, and Main Ave, providing a detailed view of the community's structural layout during the early 21st century.
