2024 Map of Fessenden West

About this map

Manfred and the city of Fessenden anchor this central North Dakota landscape, where the prairie grid of township lines and section roads meets the winding path of the James River. The geography is defined by its agricultural layout and communal landmarks, including several historic burial sites such as the Vang Lutheran Cem and German Baptist Cem. The North Country National Scenic Trl cuts horizontally across the northern half of the quadrangle, following the section line of 22nd St NE through Wells County. The presence of Hirshkorn Lake and various unnamed wetlands illustrates the region's pothole prairie character, providing a natural contrast to the strict linear organization of roads like Co Rd 5 and Co Rd 2. This survey also documents the local transport infrastructure, from the Fessenden-Streibel Municipal Airport to the street-level details of Fessenden, including Railway St S.
