2020 Map of Martin

About this map

Martin serves as the primary settlement on this Sheridan County landscape, where the prairie is organized by a precise grid of rural roads like 30th St NE and 24th Ave NE. The map reveals a cluster of community history preserved in its burial grounds, including the Saint Johannes Evangelical Lutheran Cem and Martin United Methodist Cem, reflecting the denominational heritage of the early 20th-century homesteaders. The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and seasonal wetlands, with Alkali Lake and Johnson Lake standing out as more permanent water bodies. This 2020 survey documents a quiet agricultural region defined by Section lines and long-established township boundaries, such as the junction of Pierce and Sheridan Counties, where land use remains dedicated to the open fields of the North Dakota plains.
