2018 Map of Moselle

About this map

Moselle sits at a historic crossroads in Richland County, where the grid of rural section lines meets the winding course of the Wild Rice River. This part of the North Dakota prairie is defined by its extensive wetland networks and the slow-moving waters of Elk Creek, which drain into the larger river valley. The landscape is primarily agricultural, subdivided by a precise network of section roads including Co Rd 16 and 81st St SE. A point of local genealogical interest is the Nulph Cem, situated near the riverbanks, serving as a quiet marker of the families who settled this fertile river bottom land. The presence of Goerger Airport in the northern reaches of the quadrangle highlights the continued importance of small-scale aviation in supporting the expansive farming operations of the Red River Valley region.
