About this map

The small community of Karlsruhe anchors the northwestern corner of this McHenry County landscape, showing a tight grid of streets with names like Moscow St and Odessa St that reflect the heritage of the early settlers. Just north of the town site lies the Saints Peter and Paul Cem, a significant site for local family historians. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Wintering River, which snakes across the prairie toward the southeast, eventually passing near Herrington Lake.

To the southwest, the prominent Hogback Ridge rises above the surrounding plains, while the rural section lines are dotted with landmarks like the Stenso Cem. The map illustrates a classic North Dakota township and range system, where a network of gravel roads including Central Ave N and 49th St NE provides access to the vast agricultural sections and scattered wetlands that characterize this part of the Souris River basin.
