2020 Map of Oriska

About this map

Oriska serves as the central hub of this Barnes County landscape, where the town’s layout is defined by the intersection of the railway line and regional roads like 33rd St SE. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its history, anchored by several local burial sites and landmarks. North of the town center lies the Camp Arnold State Historic Site Cem, while Saint Bernards Cem and Oriska Cem flank the residential and commercial district near the Po. The surrounding territory is characterized by a high density of wetlands and small water bodies, typical of the prairie pothole region, which dictates the grid of section lines and township boundaries such as t140n r56w. This 2020 survey illustrates the persistence of small-town North Dakota infrastructure amidst a predominantly agricultural and marshy terrain.
