2011 Map of Emerado SW

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Grand Forks County is defined by a strictly surveyed grid of section lines and isolated cultural landmarks. The Washington Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran church stands in the southern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the heritage of the settlers who established the local townships. Further north, the Evangelical United Brethren church serves as another community anchor amidst the wide-open fields. The terrain is subtly marked by drainage patterns like Salt Water Coulee, which winds through the northeastern sections, and Hazen Brook in the northwest. This 2011 survey captures the area’s enduring rural character, where local movement is dictated by numbered thoroughfares such as 29th St NE and 13th Ave NE, maintaining a settlement pattern little changed by modern development.
