2011 Map of Crary

About this map

Crary serves as the primary settlement on this North Dakota prairie landscape, located at the intersection of local routes like Dakota Ave and Main St. To the south, the expansive waters of Devils Lake and East Devils Lake dominate the terrain, illustrating the significant hydrologic footprint of this region. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road grid, including 87th Ave NE and 48th St NE, which facilitates the agricultural character of the area. Local history is anchored by the Crary Cemetery south of town and the small community of Essex in the northwest. This U.S. Geological Survey representation provides a clear view of the rural township structure before more modern expansions, emphasizing the relationship between the small railroad-aligned town of Crary and the nearby shoreline of the state's largest natural lake.
