2011 Map of New Rockford NE

About this map

The James River snakes through this portion of Eddy County, defining the local geography northeast of New Rockford. A prominent water management feature, the New Rockford Number 2 Dam, controls the river's flow just east of the city's residential streets like Central Ave E. The landscape is predominantly organized by a strict township-and-range grid of gravel roads, including 23rd St NE and 73rd Ave NE, which partition the agricultural prairie into expansive plots. To the south, the settlement of Dundas sits near the riverbanks, while the waters of Schwoebel Slough mark the low-lying terrain. This 2011 survey captures the region's enduring rural character, where the interplay of hydraulic engineering and traditional Section Line roads continues to shape the North Dakota plains.
