2018 Map of Montpelier

About this map

The James River snakes through the central corridor of this prairie landscape, defining the geography of the Montpelier settlement. This 2018 survey documents a region where the river valley provides a distinct break in the surrounding agricultural tableland, with drainage features like Beaver Cr and Streaman Coulee carving into the plains. Genealogists will find local landmarks preserved, including Saint Huberts Cem located just north of the town site and the James River Valley Cem positioned on the eastern bank of the river. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Stutsman County and LaMoure County at the southern edge, illustrating how the section-line road grid, including Co Hwy 37, organizes the rural layout around the river's winding path.
