2020 Map of Courtenay NW

About this map

Stony Brook meanders through the northern plains of this agricultural corridor in Stutsman County, carving a path through a landscape dotted with numerous wetlands and prairie potholes. This 2020 survey reveals a highly organized township-and-range grid, where the transition of seasons is marked by the cultivation of the surrounding fields. Local history and genealogy are anchored by two significant landmarks: the Saint Marys Cem in the northeast and the German Zion Evangelical Lutheran Cem in the southeast. These sites serve as quiet reminders of the early communities and congregations that established roots in this part of North Dakota. The area's connectivity is maintained through a system of rural routes, including Co Rd 43 and a series of numbered roads like 12th St SE and 19th St SE, which facilitate the movement of equipment and people across this productive terrain.
