2011 Map of Ellendale South

About this map

The town of Ellendale serves as the primary hub at the northern edge of this survey, where the grid of residential streets like 2nd St S and 6th Ave S transitions into the expansive agricultural lands of the border region between North and South Dakota. The local infrastructure reflects a reliance on water management for the plains, highlighted by the Ellendale Water Supply Dam and the Ellendale Township Dam situated along the winding course of the Dry Branch. These features, along with Sewer Branch, define the hydrology of an area otherwise dominated by a rigid sections-based road network. Further south, the small settlement of Winship sits along the road corridor, illustrating the dispersed nature of human habitation in this part of Dickey County during the early 21st century. Researchers will find a landscape where modern transportation routes like County Hwy 10 follow the established survey lines of the prairie.
