About this map

The James River winds in a serpentine path across this prairie landscape in Wells County, creating a distinctive hydrological pattern of oxbows and marshy depressions. This section of the North Dakota plains is defined by a rigid section-line grid of rural roads, including 14th St NE and 32nd Ave NE, which reflect the late-nineteenth-century land organization that shaped the region's agricultural development. A key point of local interest is the Mennonite Cemetery, located near 8th St NE. The proximity of this burial ground to the river's flood plain and the local road network provides a clear view of the early settlement patterns and religious heritage of the farming communities that occupied these lands during the early twentieth century.
