2011 Map of Niobe

About this map

Niobe sits at the heart of this North Dakota landscape, a small settlement defined by a precise grid of rural roads and agricultural plots in Ward County. The town is flanked by essential community markers, including the Niobe Cemetery just to the north and the Bethane Cemetery further north along 91st St NW. This area reflects the late twentieth-century expansion of the regional road network, where County Hwy-2 and County Rd 12 serve as primary arteries through the plains. To the northeast, the terrain gives way to the waters of Upper Des Lacs Lake, which provides a distinct geographic boundary against the otherwise uniform section lines. The map captures the quiet, organized character of the high plains, where settlement patterns are closely tied to the surveyed township and range system.
