2020 Map of Minot NW

About this map

Burlington and the winding Souris River occupy the northeastern corner of this Ward County landscape, where the prairie begins to break into a network of steep coulees. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features like Gassman Coulee and South Branch Coulee, which cut through the high plains toward the river valley. To the west and south, the settlement pattern shifts to a regular grid of section-line roads, connecting small rural centers such as Ralston and Drady. Genealogical interest centers on Drady Cem, situated near the south-central portion of the map. This era shows a landscape managed for aviation and transit, featuring the Flying S Ranch Airport and a dense network of local routes including Co Rd 16 and Co Hwy 14, providing a clear record of rural infrastructure in the Minot vicinity.
