About this map

The James River snakes through this portion of Wells County, carving a narrow path across a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and prairie section lines. The small community of Manfred sits at the intersection of Co Rd 2 and a rail corridor, serving as a primary point of settlement in this rural expanse. To the south, the Manfred Seventh - Day Adventist Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, situated along 15th St NE.

Modern infrastructure and recreational routes cut across the older township boundaries of t149n r72w and t149n r71w. The N Country National Scenic Trail traverses the northern half of the map, crossing the river and passing near Egg Lake. This 2020 survey documents the persistence of the original grid system, from Old Hwy 52 to the numerous numbered avenues and streets that continue to organize the North Dakota plains.
