2011 Map of Kindred

About this map

Kindred and Davenport anchor this survey of the Red River Valley’s western edge, where a rigid grid of agricultural roads defines the prairie landscape. The Sheyenne River meanders through the southeastern corner, providing a stark contrast to the straight lines of 53rd St SE and 160th Ave SE. This survey details the local aviation history of the region through Schroeder Field and Hamry Landing Field, which serve the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogical interest centers on the Davenport Cemetery north of its namesake town and the German Cemetery situated along 164th Ave SE. The settlement of Warren appears in the northeast, connected to the larger transport network by Warren St. The map illustrates a rural North Dakota community defined by its precise section lines and its relationship to the river valley drainage.
