2020 Map of Freda

About this map

The small settlement of Freda serves as the focal point of this rural prairie landscape along the Morton County and Grant County line. Located in a region defined by agricultural sections and the drainage of Dogtooth Creek, the area is punctuated by the prominent Three Buttes to the west. This modern topographic survey highlights a persistent grid of section-line roads such as 34th Ave and 72nd St, which have long connected the isolated farmsteads of the North Dakota plains. Near the center of the township, the Bethesda Cemetery stands as a significant genealogical marker, recording the family history of the early settlers who established roots in these high plains. The map's detailed contouring reveals the subtle coulees and ridges that dictated the placement of early homesteads and travel routes through the North Dakota interior.
