2024 Map of Heil

About this map

Heil sits at the heart of this landscape, a small settlement defined by its grid-patterned gravel roads and quiet rural surroundings. The geography is primarily shaped by the winding course of Antelope Creek, which meanders through the plains and provides a natural contrast to the geometric Public Land Survey System lines. Local heritage is concentrated south of the town center at Prairie View Cem and Peace Cem, two sites that offer significant value for genealogists tracing early families in Grant County. To the west, Elm Butte rises as a distinct topographical landmark, breaking the steady profile of the prairie. The region's infrastructure is dominated by a systematic network of section-line roads, such as 70th St SW and 62nd Ave SW, illustrating the enduring influence of the township and range system on North Dakota's physical and social organization.
