2020 Map of Manitou

About this map

Manitou anchors this portion of Mountrail County, situated along the northern transport corridor where Co Hwy 2 and local roads like 64th St NW segment the high plains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the White Earth River to the southwest, which cuts through the systematic township and range grid that organizes the rural terrain. For those researching local lineages, the Bohemian Cem provides a significant touchstone, reflecting the ethnic heritage of the settlers who established homesteads across these townships. The transition from the flat agricultural tablelands into the drainages of the river basin suggests the environmental challenges and opportunities faced by the region's farming and ranching communities.
