2018 Map of Kempton

About this map

Kempton and the northern outskirts of Northwood anchor this survey of the Red River Valley’s western edge in Grand Forks County. The landscape is defined by the highly structured Public Land Survey System, with gravel and paved routes like Co Rd 6 and Co Rd B12 following section lines across the prairie. The community of Kempton is situated along Railroad St, reflecting the historic importance of the rail corridor in moving agricultural goods. Hydrological features provide the only break in the grid, as Hazen Brook meanders through the central and eastern sections, while the Little Goose River touches the southwestern corner. This map documents a region where modern infrastructure, such as 9th Ave NE and 32nd St NE, continues to overlay the traditional township and range divisions of t151n r54w and t150n r54w.
