2014 Map of Minot

About this map

The city of Minot is centered on this 2014 survey, where the Souris River bends through the valley floor. The map documents the extensive urban grid and educational footprint of Minot State University, situated just north of the river. Evidence of the city's growth is visible in the transition from the densely developed downtown streets to the newer commercial developments at Square Mall. Along the southern and eastern periphery, the landscape shifts into a series of deep drainages including First Larson Coulee, Second Larson Coulee, and Kemp Coulee. Transportation infrastructure is a defining element, from the Soo Line railroad tracks that historically shaped the town to the modern arterials like Central Avenue West and West University Avenue. Cultural history is noted at Rosehill Cemetery and Hebrew Cemetery, providing valuable data points for local genealogists and historians.
