2020 Map of Litchville

About this map

Litchville serves as the primary hub for this agricultural landscape at the southern edge of Barnes County. The grid-based settlement pattern is defined by a rigorous section-line road network, including Co Hwy 11 and dozens of numbered streets like 54th St SE, which marks the Barnes Co LaMoure Co boundary. The area's heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds that speak to early community foundations, such as Saint Thomas Cem, Saint Anns Cem, and Swedish Cem. The natural drainage of the prairie is etched by the meandering courses of Spring Cr and Bear Cr, providing a stark contrast to the precise man-made geometry of the surrounding farmland. These water features represent the original topography that dictated early land use before the establishment of the modern road system.
