About this map

The town of Ellendale serves as the focal point of this North Dakota landscape, situated at the southern edge of a grid-dominated prairie. This 2011 survey shows the town's street-level detail, including the intersection of Main St and 1st St N, alongside infrastructure such as Cemetery Rd and the Ellendale Municipal Airport. Northward, the landscape transitions to open agricultural sections, divided by a precise network of rural roads like 85th Ave SE and 92nd St SE.

A notable north-south corridor is formed by Highway 281, which passes near the settlement of Duane. The natural drainage of the area is defined by the winding course of the Sewer Branch, which meanders through the central and southern portions of the map. This map reflects the enduring organization of the Great Plains, where the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System dictate the placement of local roads and provide a framework for the region's farming economy.
