2024 Map of McLeod

About this map

McLeod sits at the heart of this modern survey of the North Dakota prairie, where the local grid of section lines meets the protected landscape of the Sheyenne National Grassland. The terrain is characterized by the complex wetland and dune patterns of the Red River Valley’s western edge, marked by numerous small depressions and drainage features. Cultural history is anchored by the Free Lutheran Cem in the northern portion of the map, while the North Country National Scenic Trl winds through the sand hills, offering a corridor through the native tallgrass prairie. This map captures the intersection of Ransom and Richland counties, showing how modern county roads like Co Rd 8 and 149th Ave SE connect the small community of McLeod to the surrounding agricultural and conservation lands.
