2024 Map of Mouse River Park SW

About this map

Zion Lutheran Cem and Evanger Lutheran Cem serve as quiet anchors for the rural landscape of Renville County. This northern North Dakota terrain is defined by a rigorous section-line grid, where gravel and dirt roads like 100th St NW and 54th Ave NW intersect across a landscape pocked with countless small wetlands and prairie potholes. The map reveals the persistence of early 20th-century settlement patterns, where church-affiliated burial grounds and family-named markers like Brekhus Field remain the primary landmarks between isolated farmsteads. The drainage and topography show the subtle undulations typical of the Missouri Plateau, with most development concentrated along these established county roads. The systematic layout of the Public Land Survey System, including t162n r87w and t162n r86w, provides the framework for this high-plains agricultural community.
