2020 Map of Gardner

About this map

The eastern North Dakota prairie is defined here by the sharp boundary between Traill Co and Cass Co, where the towns of Gardner and Grandin anchor a landscape of precise agricultural sections. This 2020 record of the Red River Valley hinterlands shows a transportation corridor dominated by Co Hwy 81, which runs parallel to the primary rail line, connecting the small grain-handling communities. In the southern portion of the map, the village of Gardner is centered at the junction of Front St and Cty Rd 26, with the Gardner Cem located just to the north. The survey illustrates the grid-based development typical of the region, where roads like 168 Ave SE and 12th St SE partition the flat terrain into large, productive farm tracts. Smaller wetlands and seasonal drainage patterns are scattered across the eastern edge, showing the natural hydrology that persists alongside extensive human cultivation.
