2011 Map of Forbes NW

About this map

Saint Peters Cemetery stands as a quiet landmark within this prairie landscape in the southeastern corner of North Dakota. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and small basins, a classic example of the glacial pothole region where agriculture and natural hydrology coexist. In the eastern portion of the map, the Spring Creek Colony represents a distinct communal settlement pattern, situated near several of these water bodies. The section-line road grid, including routes like 101st St SE and 104th St, facilitates access across the township, connecting isolated farmsteads and the cemetery to the broader region. This 2011 survey illustrates the continued importance of these local institutions and the structured land division that has governed the plains since the era of homesteading.
