2020 Map of Derrick

About this map

Derrick sits at the heart of this Ramsey County landscape, appearing as a quiet crossroads settlement within a high-plains environment defined by numerous small depressions and seasonal wetlands. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the precise grid of section lines and gravel roads, including 73rd St NE and 97th Ave NE, which partition the prairie into large farming tracts. In the northeastern corner, Prospect Cem stands as a focal point for genealogical interest, located just off CO Hwy 4. The terrain is drained by the winding course of Edmore Coulee, which meanders through the southern and southeastern sections. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of the early twenty-first century, showing the persistent settlement patterns and water management features of the North Dakota pothole region.
