2020 Map of Emrick

About this map

Rocky Run meanders across this rural expanse of Wells County, carving a subtle path through the agricultural grid of central North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the rigid township and range system, where gravel section lines like Cottonwood RD and a series of numbered avenues and streets provide the primary framework for local travel. Near the eastern edge of the survey, the small settlement of Emrick remains a quiet point of reference, connected to the surrounding countryside by Emrick Ave. Local history is anchored at the southern boundary by the Tolbert Cem, a significant site for genealogical research in this sparsely populated prairie region. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns and wetlands that characterize this part of the Northern Plains, contrasting the natural hydrology of the run against the precision of the land survey.
