2019 Map of Georgetown

About this map

The Red River of the North winds in tight oxbows along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota, defining the western edge of the settlement at Georgetown. This fertile prairie landscape is deeply connected to its agricultural roots, where the confluence of the Buffalo River and the main channel dictated early land use. The map reveals the intricate water network of the Red River Valley, including the Sheyenne River and the managed flow of County Ditch Number Twentythree-B. Local heritage is anchored by significant community landmarks such as Osterdalen Lutheran Church and its accompanying Osterdalen Church Cem. Further north, the Nora South Pioneer Cem sits near the riverbanks, marking the locations where early families established themselves in this riverine corridor.
