2017 Map of Elgin

About this map

Elgin serves as the primary hub of this Grant County landscape, situated where the local grid of agricultural roads meets the meandering path of Antelope Cr. The settlement is clearly defined by its residential blocks and central services, including the Elgin Municipal Airport to the south. Reflecting the town's community history, two religious sites are located on the western edge of the town site: the Hope Congregational Cem and the American Lutheran Cem. The surrounding terrain is dominated by the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, with the map recording the intersections of Townships 134N and 135N. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of regional corridors like Elgin Rd and Golf Club Rd in connecting the isolated farmsteads of the North Dakota plains.
