2011 Map of Deisem

About this map

Deisem serves as the quiet focal point of this LaMoure County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a sparse network of section-line roads and intermittent waterways. The topography is shaped by the meandering paths of Maple Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which thread through the plains alongside essential water management features like the Schlecht-Thom Dam and Nora Township Dam. This 2011 survey captures the area's agricultural character, dominated by vast open spaces and small-scale infrastructure, including the Forsman Landing Strip. The map's layout of roads, such as 77th Ave SE and 64th St SE, illustrates the enduring grid system that governs movement and land ownership in this portion of North Dakota. For those researching local land use or township history, the specific placement of these dams and the small settlement of Deisem provides a clear record of rural development in the early 21st century.
