2014 Map of Gorham

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this landscape in western North Dakota, where the small settlement of Gorham sits at a crossroads of section-line roads and creek drainages. The topography is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several prominent waterways, including the winding Green River, Magpie Cr, and Whitetail Cr. This 2014 survey records a sparsely populated ranching and grassland region, where human presence is marked by isolated landmarks and family-history sites. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Saint Jacobs Cem and Saint Josephat Cem preserved in relation to the surrounding draws and buttes. The transport network is tied to the terrain, with routes like Magpie Rd and Blacktail Rd navigating the breaks and high ground between Betsy Cr and Blacktail Cr.
