2020 Map of Eldridge

About this map

Pipestem Lake dominates the upper half of this prairie landscape, where its irregular northern shoreline meets a network of section-line roads. This modern survey illustrates the transition from the settlement at Eldridge to the western outskirts of Jamestown. Local history is anchored by the Eldridge Cem and the Johnson Airstrip, which sit amidst a terrain characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands. The drainage of Pipestem Cr provides a natural corridor for recreation, evidenced by the Pipestem Creek Trail and N Ridge Trail near Parkhurst. The map clearly shows the rectilinear grid of township and range lines that have defined North Dakota's agricultural development since the original land surveys.
