2020 Map of Flora

About this map

Flora stands as a quiet central point in this Benson County landscape, where the prairie grid is interrupted by the winding course of the Sheyenne River to the south. The map documents a rural environment defined by sectional farming and small-scale aviation, evidenced by the Sabbe Brothers Landing Strip and Gilbertson Field. For those researching local roots, the presence of both the Flora Cem and the dual-named Greenwood Cem / Maddock Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogical study. The terrain shifts from the level agricultural uplands into the more complex topography of Peterson Coulee as the land descends toward the river valley, illustrating the characteristic drainage patterns of the North Dakota plains.
