2011 Map of Fordville

About this map

Fordville sits at the heart of this Walsh County landscape, where the braided drainage of the Forest River system converges. The map illustrates a highly organized agricultural grid defined by corridors like County Hwy-19 and County Rd 12B, which facilitate the movement of goods through this rural northern plains environment. A significant hydrological feature is the Middle South Branch Forest River Number 4 Dam, which creates a substantial reservoir in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This water management infrastructure, alongside the winding paths of the North Branch Forest River and South Branch Forest River, demonstrates the intensive efforts to control and utilize the region's water resources for local industry and farming. Further north, the Fordville Airport serves as a modern transportation node for this prairie community.
