2011 Map of Forbes

About this map

Forbes sits near the border of North Dakota and South Dakota, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie land. The town's grid is centered around N Main St and Railroad Ave, reflecting its origins as a rail-oriented settlement. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of the Great Plains, featuring several dry washes or intermittent streams such as Webber Gulch, Hoevens Gulch, and Webers Gulch. These features highlight the importance of water management and topography in a region where the land is otherwise partitioned by an extensive network of range and township section roads. Just west of the town center lies the Forbes Cemetery, a significant landmark for those researching the local families who established this rural community.
