2018 Map of Fessenden East

About this map

Fessenden sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape in Wells County, where the grid of the northern plains meets the meandering course of the James River. The river winds through the center of the quadrangle, cutting a distinct path across a terrain defined by sections of the Public Land Survey System, including t148n r70w and t149n r70w. This area reflects the late twentieth-century development of long-distance recreation with the passage of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which runs horizontally across the northern tier near 22nd St NE. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Concordia Cem in the eastern portion of the map, while a network of county roads like Co Rd 1 and Co Rd 5 provides the primary infrastructure for this agricultural region.
