2011 Map of Flora

About this map

Flora sits in the heart of this Benson County landscape, where the prairie is etched by the winding course of the Sheyenne River. This survey captures the rural character of the region, defined by a rigid grid of agricultural roads like 37th St NE and County Rd-0319 that segment the plains. The presence of both the Maddock Cemetery and Flora Cemetery provides essential data for genealogists tracing families in this part of North Dakota. To the east, the terrain descends toward Peterson Coulee, a natural drainage feature that contrasts with the surrounding flat agricultural land. The map also identifies Gilbertson Field, illustrating the localized land use and landmarks important to the community during this era of modern mapping.
