2011 Map of Lunds Valley

About this map

Lunds Valley occupies a quiet corner of the North Dakota plains, characterized by a persistent grid of section roads and a landscape dotted with glacial prairie potholes. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural settlement patterns of Mountrail County, where small community hubs and burial grounds provide the primary landmarks across the open terrain. The northern reaches of Powers Lake dominate the western edge of the map, while the smaller Elbow Lake is situated to the northeast. Local history is anchored by the Saint James Cemetery and Elbow Lake Bethel Cemetery, which serve as permanent markers of the families who settled this agricultural region. The map meticulously records the local road network, including routes like 89th Ave NW and 75th St NW, which facilitate movement between these scattered prairie features.
