2017 Map of Lunds Valley

About this map

Lunds Valley occupies the south-central portion of this Northwest North Dakota landscape, where the prairie is defined by a series of kettle lakes and potholes common to the Glaciated Missouri Plateau. The settlement pattern remains largely agricultural, structured by a rigid section-line road grid that includes 78th St NW and 75th St NW. These routes connect dispersed homesteads and rural landmarks that provide essential ties for genealogists and local historians. The map records several dedicated burial sites, including the Saint James Cem and Bethel Lutheran Cem, reflecting the early Norwegian and religious foundations of the area. Significant water bodies like Powers Lake and Elbow Lake serve as natural breaks in the cultivated fields, while the boundary between Burke Co and Mountrail Co divides the northern and southern tiers of the township.
