2014 Map of Manfred

About this map

Manfred sits at a focal point of North Dakota transportation in this survey, where the township is defined by the winding course of the James River. The river cuts diagonally across the landscape, flanked by a rigid grid of rural section roads like 35th Ave NE and 21st St NE. In the northwest corner, Egg Lake provides a distinct break in the prairie terrain. The map reflects a classic Great Plains settlement pattern, where small communities like Manfred developed along early transport corridors, supported by a network of county routes including Cr-52 and Cr-4. This record is essential for understanding the modern layout of Wells County, tracing how the river geography continues to influence the placement of regional infrastructure.
