2011 Map of Norwich

About this map

Norwich and Genoa anchor this portion of McHenry County, where the landscape is defined by the strict rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals the agricultural organization of the early 21st-century prairie, with numbered avenues such as 19th Ave N and 14th Ave N intersecting with roads like 56th St N to form a precise network of transport and land division. The settlement of Norwich appears in the northwest, situated along the corridor of Route 2, while Genoa sits further south along the western edge. These small rural centers provide a look at the enduring settlement patterns in North Dakota, where isolated communities remain connected by a sparse but essential web of rural roads and highways crossing the open plains.
