About this map

Epworth anchors this remote section of the North Dakota prairie, situated in the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Shell Creek, which carves a modest valley through the township sections as it flows toward the southeast. The settlement pattern follows the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like 75th Ave NW and 48th St NW marking the boundaries of sections across Mountrail County.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Epworth Cemetery and the smaller Johns Cem essential for tracing early homesteading families in this rural expanse. These burial sites and the small cluster at Epworth represent the primary points of human congregation in a territory otherwise dominated by vast agricultural tracts and natural drainage basins. The map illustrates the transition from high plateau surfaces down into the smaller draws and coulees that feed the regional watershed.
