2011 Map of Dahlen

About this map

Dahlen serves as the primary settlement on this Nelson County landscape, situated along Main St and 125th Ave NE. The geography is defined by the winding paths of the Middle Branch Forest River and the South Branch Forest River, which converge and flow eastward across the plains. Water management is a visible priority here, evidenced by the Matecjek Dam and the Middle South Branch Forest River Number 1 Dam, the latter creating a reservoir alongside Cleveland Park. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies two distinct burial sites: Zion Cemetery located south of the main village and the Middle Forest River Cemetery positioned further north near the river bend. The map reflects a classic North Dakota township structure, with a strictly surveyed grid of section roads like County Rd 14 and 54th St NE that organize the agricultural terrain.
