2017 Map of De Lamere

About this map

De Lamere serves as the primary settlement center on this 2017 survey, situated at the intersection of several local routes in the southeastern corner of the plains. The landscape is defined by the expansive Sheyenne National Grassland, which dominates the northern half of the quadrangle with its characteristic sandy soils and pothole wetlands. The transition from public grassland to private agriculture is marked by the distinct section lines and an orderly grid of rural roads including 79th St SE and Co Rd 10. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Anderson Cem, located just east of the grassland boundary. Hydrology is sparse in this prairie environment, with Elk Cr providing the primary drainage across the central western sections, illustrating the water-scarce nature of the high plains in this region of North Dakota.
