2020 Map of Kensal

About this map

The small prairie settlement of Kensal serves as the focal point of this rural North Dakota landscape, situated at the intersection of agricultural grid roads and the historic Soo Line railroad. This modern survey illustrates the enduring layout of the town, where local heritage is preserved at the Saint Johns Cem and Kensal Cem just north and west of the main residential blocks. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and small water bodies that pocket the sections between 83rd Ave SE and 90th Ave SE, revealing the natural prairie pothole geography of the region. This mosaic of land and water is bisected by the county boundary between Foster and Stutsman Counties, illustrating how historical political lines overlay the local hydrology.
