2014 Map of Guelph

About this map

Guelph and Ludden sit at the southern edge of the North Dakota prairie, where the James River snakes through the southeastern corner of Dickey County. This survey of the early 2010s reveals a landscape defined by its rigorous grid of rural roads, including 97th St SE and 103rd Ave SE, which partition the agricultural sections. The settlement at Ludden is complemented by the nearby Ludden Cem, a vital site for genealogical research in this township. The river's winding path provides a stark contrast to the straight-line geography of the surrounding township roads, which maintain their orderly placement from 89th St SE down to the southern boundary. This map preserves the mid-continental pattern of small prairie communities and the waterways that once guided their placement.
