2017 Map of Forman

About this map

Forman serves as the primary hub of this southeastern North Dakota landscape, situated at the intersection of a strictly gridded section-line road network. The town's layout is defined by streets like Main St SW and Antelope Ave SW, representing the localized development of Sargent County. South of the main settlement, Old Trinity Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the area's early residents. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie wetlands and glacial depressions typical of the region. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the meandering path of the Wild Rice River, which winds through the prairie towards Buttke Lake. This drainage system illustrates the natural hydrology that influenced early land use and the placement of rural infrastructure like Co Rd 6 and Co Rd 3.
