2024 Map of Oriska

About this map

Oriska stands as the primary settlement within this section of the eastern North Dakota prairie, organized around a rigid grid of rural section roads and the rail corridor. The landscape is dotted with numerous small wetlands and glacial depressions, many of which are protected within the Barnes County Waterfowl Production Area. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites including Saint Bernards Cem and the Oriska Cem. To the north, the Camp Arnold State Historic Site and its associated Camp Arnold State Historic Site Cem provide a focal point for studying the region’s early frontier history and state-preserved landmarks.
