2014 Map of Nortonville

About this map

Nortonville stands as the primary settlement in this section of LaMoure County, situated near the western edge of the quadrangle. The town sits just north of Bone Hill Cr, a meandering waterway that snakes across the prairie landscape from northwest to southeast. The surrounding terrain is defined by a rigorous section-line grid of rural roads, including 82nd Ave S and 60th St SE, which facilitate travel between the scattered homesteads of this agricultural region. This 2014 survey illustrates the persistence of the small-town layout, with 2nd St serving as a central artery within the village. The drainage pattern of Bone Hill Cr creates the only significant breaks in the otherwise uniform topography of the North Dakota plains, marking the natural low points where water collects in an area dominated by dryland farming.
