2020 Map of Gorham

About this map

The settlement of Gorham sits within the expansive landscape of the Little Missouri National Grassland in Billings County. This area of North Dakota is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the Green River, Whitetail Cr, and Magpie Cr, which dictate the local topography. The map reveals the region's cultural heritage through the presence of the Saint Josephat Ukrainian Catholic Cem, reflecting the specific ethnic settlement patterns common to this part of the Great Plains. A grid of rural roads like Magpie Rd and Blacktail Rd provides access to these isolated sites. Genealogists can also locate the Saint Jacobs Cem, positioned north of the main Gorham area. The drainage systems of Betsy Cr and Blacktail Cr further define the terrain, illustrating the relationship between the natural water supply and the historical ranching and farming infrastructure.
