2014 Map of Heimdal

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, joined by its N Fork Sheyenne River as it carves through the central North Dakota plains. This 2014 survey documents the small settlement of Heimdal, located where the local road network of Highland St and 1st Ave meets the sweeping marshes of the Big Slough. The area's agricultural and social history is anchored by long-standing landmarks such as Bethania Cem in the west and Hoff Cem along the southern boundary. Straddling the line between Benson Co and Wells Co, the map illustrates a sparse but organized rural grid of section-line roads, revealing the enduring settlement patterns of the region's late-twentieth-century farming economy.
