2014 Map of Epworth NW

About this map

The rolling plains of Mountrail County are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural section roads and the meandering path of Shell Cr in this 2014 topographic study. Situated south of the Missouri River plateau, the landscape is almost entirely dedicated to agriculture, punctuated only by small depressions and the drainage of the creek as it flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. A significant landmark for local genealogy is the Epworth Cem, located in the southern section of the map. The road network, including thoroughfares such as Palermo Rd, 57th St NW, and 50th St NW, illustrates the enduring structure of North Dakota's homestead-era land divisions. This map provides a clear view of the high-plains geography and the sparse, purposeful placement of human markers like the cemetery against a vast open landscape.
