2020 Map of Nanson

About this map

Nanson sits at the heart of this prairie landscape, where the boundary between Rolette Co and Pierce Co divides a region defined by glacial wetlands and agriculture. The settlement pattern is anchored by local heritage sites, specifically the North Ox Creek Cem and the South Ox Creek Lutheran Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of North Dakota. A network of section-line roads like Willow City Rd and 80th St NE creates a rigid grid across the terrain, navigating around natural features such as Twin Lakes and the winding course of Ox Cr. This survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of the Great Plains, where small communities and quiet churchyards remain the primary focal points of the township.
