2024 Map of Mooreton NW

About this map

Pitcairn Creek and Antelope Creek meander through this section of the Red River Valley, defining the low-lying hydrology of southeastern North Dakota. The landscape is dominated by a precise section-line road grid, including Co Rd 4, Co Rd 6, and Co Rd 8, which organize the agricultural reaches of Richland County. The small community of Colfax sits on the eastern edge of the survey, serving as a local hub near the North Country National Scenic Trail as it cuts diagonally across the township lines. For those researching family history in the region, the map identifies two significant burial sites: Zion United Cem in the northwest and Stearns Cem further south. The drainage patterns of the creeks and the placement of these rural cemeteries provide clear markers of the long-standing settlement patterns in this prairie environment.
