About this map

Petersburg sits at the southern edge of this Nelson County landscape, where the town layout meets a vast network of section-line roads and prairie drainage. The rural character of the region is defined by the winding course of the North Branch Turtle River, which meanders across the central and eastern portions of the map. To the northeast, the Saint Andrews Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for those researching local family history and genealogy in this corner of North Dakota. The transport system relies on a strict grid of gravel and paved routes, including County Rd 5 and County Rd 14A, which connect isolated farmsteads to the commercial hub of the town. This survey illustrates the modern agricultural footprint of the area, showing how the drainage patterns of the river interact with contemporary road classifications and land use.
