2011 Map of Epworth

About this map

The settlement of Epworth anchors this section of Mountrail County, sitting amidst a systematic grid of section roads during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Shell Creek, which meanders through the southern and eastern portions of the quadrangle, contrasting with the rigid geometry of the surrounding agricultural land. Genealogists and local historians will find Johns Cemetery in the northeastern corner, a significant landmark for tracing family roots in this rural community. The map details an extensive network of local thoroughfares, including 48th St NW and 75 Ave NW, which facilitated movement across this North Dakota prairie. Small ponds and localized depressions are scattered throughout, typical of the regional topography and providing drainage toward the creek basin.
