2024 Map of Olga

About this map

The Olga settlement sits at the center of this rural landscape in Cavalier County, where the plains of North Dakota are deeply etched by the winding course of the Little South Pembina River. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent from the plateau into the river valley, most notably at O'Brien Coulee, creating a localized topography of drainage patterns that stands in contrast to the surrounding agricultural grid. The area’s history is reflected in several distinct burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Poplar Grove Cem and South Pembina Cem, which likely served early farming families. Further south, the Tongue River meanders toward the corner of the map, while Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Cem and Golberg Lutheran Cem mark the enduring presence of local congregations within this quiet prairie environment.
