2020 Map of Nome

About this map

Nome serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the grid of Main St and 1st St N meets the rural road network. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense concentration of wetlands and small water bodies that break up the agricultural squares of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogical interest is anchored by two distinct burial sites: Immanuel Lutheran Cem to the northwest and Saint Petri Cem further south. These landmarks, along with the section-line roads like Co Hwy 38 and 54th St SE, which marks the boundary between Barnes Co and Ransom Co, illustrate the settlement pattern of eastern North Dakota in the early 21st century.
