2017 Map of Niobe

About this map

Niobe anchors this section of the North Dakota plains, situated at the junction of Co HWY 2 and Co HWY 2a. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of several distinct coulees, including Ankenbauer Coulee, Niobe Coulee, and Taskers Coulee, which carve through the high prairie. In the northeast corner, the terrain drops significantly toward the shore of Upper Des Lacs Lake, part of a larger glacial river valley system. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for the Niobe Cem and the Bethany Lutheran Cem, the latter situated just north of the county line. The grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 436th Ave NW and 576th ST NW, illustrates the enduring structure of the township-and-range survey system in Ward and Burke counties.
