2024 Map of Kensal

About this map

Kensal serves as the primary hub of this eastern North Dakota prairie landscape, situated where the Soo Line railroad cuts diagonally across the township grid. The settlement's layout is defined by its rail history, with streets like Soo St and Church St mirroring the transit corridor. Just outside the main town site, Saint Johns Cem and Kensal Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the region. The map also delineates the boundary between Foster Co and Stutsman Co, marked by 6th St. This area is characterized by a dense network of sectional roads and numerous small wetlands and depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau region, illustrating the persistent grid-based development of the northern plains.
