2024 Map of Gardena

About this map

Gardena and the surrounding prairie of northern North Dakota are defined by a grid-like network of rural roads and the winding paths of Oak Creek and Willow Creek. This landscape at the border of Bottineau Co and McHenry Co reflects a long history of agricultural settlement. Local genealogy and community roots are anchored by the Gardena Methodist Cem south of town and the Evangelical Cem further east. The map shows a clear division of land into townships such as t160n r76w and t160n r75w, where the intersection of 86th St NE and 13th Ave NE serves as a local waypoint. The presence of numerous small wetlands across the terrain suggests the glacial legacy of this region, remaining largely unchanneled as they collect around the slow-moving creek beds.
