2024 Map of Hoving

About this map

Hoving sits amidst the characteristic prairie pothole landscape of Sargent County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of small wetlands and seasonal basins. This modern survey illustrates how conservation and agriculture coexist in the eastern North Dakota plains, with the Sargent County Waterfowl Production Area preserved in fragmented blocks across the southern half of the quadrangle. The township-and-range grid is strictly maintained by gravel roads like 81st St SE and north-south corridors such as 135th Ave SE. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the precise locations of rural landmarks like Zion Cem and Dunbar Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's early settlement history. These sites, along with the route toward Buffalo Lake Rd, reflect the enduring agrarian character of this corner of the state.
