2011 Map of Fessenden SW

About this map

Dunkard Cemetery and Byrnjulson Cemetery are central landmarks in this rural portion of Wells County, reflecting the deep-rooted family and community history of North Dakota's agricultural landscape. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage and prairie potholes, with Rocky Run winding across the township grid. Water bodies like Lake Ontario, Duck Lake, and Cottonwood Lake provide the primary natural relief in a region dominated by a systematic grid of section roads including 14th St NE and 38th Ave NE. The 2011 landscape documented here shows a meticulously organized rural geography where every section is defined by maintained routes, yet large portions of the land remain dedicated to natural hydrology and open acreage.
