2020 Map of Niobe

About this map

Niobe anchors this section of the North Dakota plains, situated along the county line where Burke and Ward counties meet. The settlement is defined by its agricultural grid, with legacy sites like the Elmdale Lutheran Cem nearby. The landscape is carved by several distinct drainage features, most notably the Ankenbauer Coulee, Niobe Coulee, and Taskers Coulee, which disrupt the otherwise uniform sections. To the northeast, the terrain drops away into the valley of Upper Des Lacs Lake, where the Canada Goose Trail skirts the water's edge. This 2020 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where township roads such as 450th Ave NW and Co Hwy 2 serve as the primary conduits between isolated farmsteads and local landmarks like Bethany Lutheran Cem.
