2024 Map of Landa

About this map

Landa and the surrounding plains of Bottineau County are defined by the meandering course of the Souris River. This prairie landscape is significantly shaped by the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge, which protects the river's wetlands as they snake through the township lines of t163n r79w and t164n r80w. The settlement pattern is typical of North Dakota's rural grid, punctuated by small community landmarks that reflect the area's pioneer heritage. Genealogists and local historians will find several key burial sites preserved here, including the Acheson Homestead Cem, Zion Cem, and Nesthope Cem. These small cemeteries, along with the Landa Cem near the town site, serve as the primary physical markers of the families who settled this northern reach of the Souris Basin.
