2011 Map of Courtenay NW

About this map

Saint James Cemetery and Zion Cemetery stand as quiet landmarks within this rural section of Stutsman County, offering valuable reference points for those researching the early families of the region. The landscape is defined by the prairie potholes and drainage patterns of the Missouri Coteau, where Stony Brook meanders through the northern section and Rudolph Lake occupies a low-lying basin to the south. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural area, where the section-line road network, including 12th St SE and 19th St SE, maintains a rigid grid over the undulating glacial terrain. The absence of concentrated town sites emphasizes the isolated, agrarian nature of this landscape during the early 21st century.
