2017 Map of Overly

About this map

Overly sits at the intersection of a vast section-line road network in this 2017 survey, serving as a primary point of settlement on the boundary between Bottineau and Rolette counties. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Miller Creek and Willow Creek, which meander through a terrain dotted with numerous small wetlands and glacial prairie potholes. The grid-like street plan of the town, featuring Central Ave and Main St, stands in sharp contrast to the irregular riparian corridors of the surrounding plains. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific burial sites at the Willow Creek Lutheran Cemetery and the Little Fargo Cemetery, which are positioned south of the main townsite. The map meticulously records the rural infrastructure of the era, from the various numbered section roads like 92nd St NE to the township and range divisions that define this North Dakota agricultural landscape.
