2020 Map of Oakes

About this map

The town of Oakes serves as the central hub of this North Dakota landscape, organized by a precise grid of rural section roads and residential streets like Oak Ave and Hickory Ave. Located in Dickey County, the settlement is positioned near the meandering course of the James River, which defines the western edge of the quadrangle. The surrounding prairie is drained by Bear Creek, a winding tributary that cuts through the agricultural sections to the north and east of the town center. Local history and genealogy are anchored by Saint Charles Cem and Oakes View Cem, located on the eastern outskirts near Dickey Co 3. Transportation is supported by the Oakes Municipal Airport, while the boundary between Dickey and Sargent counties is clearly marked along the eastern margin, reflecting the enduring township and range survey system that shaped this region.
