2020 Map of Norman

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds in tight, serpentine oxbows through the center of this landscape, defining the character of the Red River Valley borderlands. The settlement of Norman is positioned along these banks, serving as a focal point in a region primarily organized by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogical interest is concentrated at several local burial sites, including Norman Cem near the river and Clemenson Cem to the north, as well as Perhus Cem located near the boundary between Cass Co and Richland Co. This 2020 map documents a late-modern era of the rural Midwest, where large-scale agriculture is punctuated by aviation landmarks like Robert Odegaard Field and an extensive network of township roads such as Co Rd 14 and 54th St SE.
