2018 Map of Heimdal

About this map

Heimdal sits at the heart of this Wells County landscape, positioned within a grid of section lines and gravel roads that define the North Dakota prairie. The terrain is dramatically shaped by the Sheyenne River and its N Fork, which carve a winding path through the northern sections of the township. This water system, combined with the presence of Big Slough, illustrates a landscape defined by glacial drainage patterns. Local history is anchored by the presence of Bethania Cem and Hoff Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled this region. The map reveals the precise intersection of county lines, specifically where Benson Co and Wells Co meet, showing how political boundaries often follow the rigid Public Land Survey System even as the natural river bends ignore it.
