2024 Map of Nanson

About this map

The small settlement of Nanson serves as the focal point of this North Dakota landscape, situated near the boundary between Rolette and Pierce counties. This region is characterized by an extensive network of wetlands and protected habitats, notably the Rolette County Waterfowl Production Area and the Pierce County Waterfowl Production Area, which dominate the central terrain. For those researching local family histories, the North Ox Creek Cem and South Ox Creek Lutheran Cem provide critical links to the area's early Lutheran heritage. The topography is defined by numerous small basins and the larger Twin Lakes to the east, while a grid of section-line roads like Rolette Rd and Willow City Rd maintain the orderly rural structure typical of the northern prairies.
