2018 Map of Fingal

About this map

Fingal serves as the primary hub in this eastern North Dakota prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of several section-line roads. The town's layout is defined by its proximity to the rail line cutting diagonally through the township, a common characteristic of late 19th-century settlement patterns in the Red River Valley region. To the north, the small community of Cuba sits along the same rail corridor, illustrating the sequence of grain-handling points that once anchored the local economy. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Hill Side Cem south of the main townsite and Holy Trinity Catholic Cem located to the east. The surrounding terrain is heavily marked by prairie potholes and wetlands, which dictated the grid of local thoroughfares such as 127th Ave SE and 45th St SE.
