2017 Map of Milnor

About this map

The settlement of Milnor sits near the intersection of Old Hwy 13 and Co Rd 10, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. To the west, the landscape is defined by the Storm Lake National Wildlife Refuge, which protects the waters of Storm Lake. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line grid of roads, such as 141st Ave SE and 79th St SE, that divide the fertile landscape between Ransom and Sargent counties. Conservation areas are prominent throughout this region, including the Ransom County Waterfowl Production Area and the southern reaches of the Sheyenne National Grassland. Local heritage is preserved at Lakeside Cem near the small community of Lakeside and at Calvary Cem further north, providing key points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the rural development of this North Dakota borderland.
