2011 Map of Gardar

About this map

Gardar sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Pembina County, where the plains are defined by the winding paths of the North Branch Park River and the Middle Branch Park River. The area's rural character is marked by a precise grid of section-line roads like 130th Ave NE and 83rd St NE, which connect isolated homesteads and landholdings. Family history and local heritage are anchored by sites such as the Stokesville Cemetery in the north and the Lampton Cemetery further south near the river's bend. The inclusion of the Pleasant Grove Farm illustrates the enduring importance of established agricultural estates in this region of North Dakota. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the steady geographic layout of a community shaped by its proximity to the branching tributaries of the Park River.
