2014 Map of Emrick

About this map

Emrick sits at the heart of this Wells County landscape, positioned along a structured grid of rural section roads. The map reveals a post-settlement agricultural pattern, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Rocky Run, which meanders through the central and western portions of the quadrangle. In the southwestern corner, the waters of Cottonwood Lake break the regularity of the prairie, providing a natural landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the geometric precision of north-south avenues and east-west streets. Genealogists will find the Tolbert Cem at the southern edge of the survey, a critical site for tracing family history in this corner of North Dakota. The namesake Emrick Ave serves as a primary artery, connecting the local settlement to the broader transport network of the high plains.
