About this map

James River meanders through the northeast corner of this Stutsman County landscape, characterized by the expansive wetland prairie of the Missouri Coteau. Small, scattered settlements like Homer and Kloze serve as anchors for a grid of section-line roads, including 82nd Ave SE and 40th St SE. These crossroads communities reflect the late 20th-century rural settlement patterns of central North Dakota, where grain farming and livestock production predominate.

Genealogical researchers will find significant interest in the presence of the Old Jamestown State Hospital Cem and the Jamestown State Hospital Cem near the river bluffs. These sites, along with the clearly delineated township boundaries such as t139n r64w, provide precise geographic markers for family history research in a region where historical features are often tied to original land survey divisions.
