2020 Map of Forbes

About this map

Forbes sits at the northern edge of the interstate boundary, where the high plains of North Dakota meet South Dakota. This 2020 survey of the borderlands between Dickey Co and McPherson Co illustrates a landscape defined by its section-line road grid and drainage features like Hoevens Gulch and Webber Gulch. The town center is tightly clustered along Main St, featuring the local Po and 3rd Ave. To the east of the primary settlement lies the Forbes Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research in this rural pocket of the Dakotas. The surrounding terrain is sparsely populated, dominated by wide agricultural sections accessed by a network of numbered routes including Co Hwy 21 and State Line Rd.
