2011 Map of Derrick

About this map

Derrick sits at the heart of this Ramsey County landscape, characterized by a dense network of small seasonal wetlands and prairie potholes typical of the region. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural township structure defined by a strict grid of gravel and section roads, including 74th St NE and 99th Ave NE. The most significant landmark for local history and genealogy is Prospect Cemetery, located in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle near the intersection of 73rd St NE. The map provides a clear look at the dispersed nature of human settlement in this part of North Dakota, where the vast majority of the land is dedicated to agricultural use, dotted only by the occasional farmstead and the central point of Derrick.
