2014 Map of Hoving

About this map

The settlement of Hoving and the surrounding prairie landscape of Sargent County are defined by a rhythmic grid of section-line roads in this modern topographic study. This agricultural expanse is dotted with numerous small wetlands and prairie potholes, typical of the regional topography. Local heritage is preserved at two distinct burial sites: Zion Cem in the northwest and Dunbar Cem situated further east along 85th St SE. The map illustrates the persistent structure of rural North Dakota, where the transport network of numbered avenues and streets, such as 133rd Ave SE and 82nd St SE, dictates the placement of homesteads and farms. This layout reflects the enduring impact of the Public Land Survey System on the development of the Great Plains.
