2014 Map of Oakes

About this map

Oakes sits at a critical junction of agriculture and regional transit on the southeastern North Dakota prairie. This 2014 survey captures the town's grid during a period of modern stability, anchored by the Oakes Municipal Airport to the north and the quiet grounds of Oakes View Cem to the east. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the James River, which cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle, while the smaller Bear Creek meanders south toward the town center. The map documents the precise local road network, including Main Ave W and various county routes like CR-3, which serve the surrounding farmland. Tracing the eastern edge of the survey, the Dickey Co Sargent Co line marks the administrative boundary between these two rural counties, providing a clear record of property and political divisions in the 21st century.
