2020 Map of Max

About this map

The town of Max serves as a central hub in this prairie landscape, situated right at the boundary of Ward and McLean counties. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local heritage, evidenced by a high density of burial grounds surrounding the settlement. These sites, such as the First Baptist Russian Cem and the Old Max City Cem, hint at the diverse ethnic and religious groups, including Russian and Lutheran settlers, who established the agricultural foundations of this region. Outside the immediate township, the terrain is defined by numerous small depressions and water bodies, most notably Shallow Lake. The presence of the Semchenko Airport to the southeast reflects the importance of regional aviation in this expansive North Dakota countryside, while a strict grid of section-line roads like 26th St NW and 373rd Ave SW organizes the farmland.
