2011 Map of Jessie

About this map

Jessie and its surrounding agricultural plains are defined by the grid of the Public Land Survey System, where a network of section-line roads like County Rd-15 and 110th Ave NE connects remote homesteads. The terrain is largely level, though it is punctuated by Butte Michaud and the winding course of the Sheyenne River in the northeast. This landscape reflects the enduring rural character of North Dakota in the early 21st century, where community centers are often anchored by long-standing religious and memorial sites. Genealogists can identify key burial grounds such as Saint Lawrence Cemetery north of the main settlement and Hero Cemetery near the southern border, providing specific points for family history research in Griggs County.
