2011 Map of Lansford NE

About this map

Renville Cemetery stands as a quiet landmark in this rural pocket of Bottineau County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp, wandering course of Cut Bank Creek. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the transition of the northern plains into the modern era, maintaining a strictly regulated grid of section roads like 84th St NW and 30th Ave NW that facilitate the region's agricultural life. The persistence of the cemetery and the natural drainage patterns of the creek provide stable reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing land use in this sparsely settled northern tier of North Dakota.
