2020 Map of Fingal

About this map

Fingal serves as the primary hub of this eastern North Dakota agricultural landscape, where the town's grid meets the surrounding section lines of t138n r56w and t138n r57w. The map documents a classic Prairie settlement pattern, characterized by small population centers like Cuba and Fingal that formed along transportation corridors. Outside of the towns, the landscape is defined by its social infrastructure, notably the Holy Trinity Catholic Cem and Hill Side Cem, which offer significant research value for genealogists and local historians tracing families in Barnes County. The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and wetlands, typical of the regional topography, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads between the strictly surveyed township and range boundaries.
