2020 Map of Kempton

About this map

Kempton and the northern outskirts of Northwood anchor this survey of Grand Forks County, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of section-line roads. The landscape is primarily shaped by the winding path of Hazen Brook and the Little Goose River, which break the regularity of the prairie fields. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of Avon Cem and North Cem, both situated along the established county routes. The influence of early transportation is visible in the corridor of Railroad St in Kempton, reflecting the rail-centered development of these small prairie communities. This modern survey provides a precise account of the rural township boundaries and the intersection of Co Rd 6 and Co Rd 12, which continue to serve as the primary conduits for this farming region.
