2011 Map of Egeland

About this map

Olmstead sits at the southern edge of this Towner County landscape, organized around a traditional street grid including Olmstead St, 1st Ave, and 2nd Ave. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and small water bodies that fragment the agricultural section lines. This pattern of drainage and land use is typical of the Prairie Pothole Region, where the systematic grid of roads like 85th St NE and 74th Ave NE must navigate around numerous natural depressions. To the west, Barks Spur identifies a point along the transportation corridor, reflecting the region's reliance on rail and road connections for moving local commodities. The map provides a clear view of the rural township structure just before the modern era, preserving the precise location of small settlements and local road names.
