2014 Map of Jessie

About this map

Jessie and its surrounding prairie landscape in Griggs County appear here in detail, defined by a high density of wetlands and small lakes that characterize this portion of the Red River Valley upland. The settlement sits at the intersection of ND-65 and 109th Ave NE, serving as a central point for the surrounding farming community. To the east, the topography becomes more pronounced as the land rises toward Butte Michaud and drops into the valley of the Sheyenne River, which cuts through the northeastern corner of the map. Local history is anchored by the Saint Lawrence Cem near the town site and the Hero Cem to the south, while a strict grid of section-line roads like 8th St NE and 111th Ave NE facilitates transit across this glaciated terrain.
