2020 Map of Hurdsfield

About this map

Hurdsfield serves as the central hub of this Wells County landscape, where the grid of the town site meets the sprawling prairie wetlands of central North Dakota. The settlement is defined by a traditional street plan including Main St, Myrtle Ave, and Boody Ave, situated just north of the Pleasant Hill rise. This high point is home to the Pleasant Hill Cem, a significant site for local genealogical research. To the north, the headwaters of the James River meander through the terrain, cutting across the sections of the Public Land Survey System. The map illustrates a classic Great Plains agricultural pattern, where section-line roads like 5th St NE and 26th Ave NE create a rigid geometry over a naturally undulating landscape of small lakes and seasonal ponds.
