About this map

The settlement of Courtenay sits at the heart of this East-Central North Dakota landscape, situated along a network of agricultural roads and the historic path of Railway Ave W. The layout of the town reflects the grid-based development typical of the prairie, where the local economy and social life were closely tied to transportation corridors like Old Highway 20 NE. Just outside the residential center lies the Courtenay Cemetery, a critical point of interest for genealogists tracing families from Stutsman County.

Water features define the surrounding terrain, most notably the wide expanse of Fox Lake to the northwest. Numerous smaller, unnamed prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands are scattered across the quadrangle, interspersed among local routes such as 12th St SE and 91 1/2 Ave SE. The survey documents the area's transition into the early 21st century while maintaining the fundamental rural character established over a century ago.
