2020 Map of Grand Rapids

About this map

The James River snakes through the heart of this LaMoure County landscape, defining the topography south of the small settlement of Grand Rapids. This prairie terrain is characterized by a high concentration of wetlands and seasonal basins, notably the Twin Lakes area in the southeast. Cultural and genealogical landmarks are concentrated near the river, including the Grand Rapids Cem situated just west of the town center and the Holy Rosary Catholic Cem further south. The land is organized by a precise grid of rural roads, such as Co Rd 34 and 98th Ave SE, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural structure of North Dakota. This modern survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the river’s path and the distributed homesteads and burial grounds that mark the local history.
