2020 Map of Monango NW

About this map

S Fork Maple River meanders through the southern half of this Dickey County landscape, providing a natural break in the precise grid of the Public Land Survey System. The area is defined by its agricultural layout, with section lines marked by a network of gravel and local roads such as 81st Ave SE and 86th St SE. Two local burial grounds, Peace Cem and Saint Pauls Cem, serve as primary landmarks for genealogical researchers tracing families in this part of North Dakota. The transport network centers on the Monango-Merricourt Rd and Co Hwy 4, which facilitate movement between the small rural townships. The map effectively documents the modern rural infrastructure and the preservation of historic community sites within a landscape dominated by prairie potholes and wetlands.
