2011 Map of Karlsruhe

About this map

Karlsruhe anchors the northwestern corner of this McHenry County landscape, a region defined by the winding course of the Wintering River. The river snakes across the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, creating a series of wetlands and small basins that gather in the low-lying prairie. To the northeast, the terrain opens into several larger water bodies, most notably Herrington Lake. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 1st Ave N and 49th St N, which organize the vast agricultural acreage. For those tracing local heritage, several burial sites are documented including two distinct locations for the Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery near the town site and the more isolated Stenso Cemetery further south, providing clear evidence of early community nodes in this rural North Dakota interior.
