2011 Map of Palermo

About this map

Palermo stands as a central point of interest in this 2011 survey of Mountrail County, North Dakota. The settlement's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as Washington Ave and Norway Ave, sitting just north of the major east-west corridor of Old Hwy 2. The surrounding landscape is a classic example of Northern Plains prairie pothole topography, characterized by numerous unnamed small lakes and seasonal wetlands that punctuate the agricultural sections. The surveyor's grid is meticulously detailed through a network of rural roads, including 74th Ave NW and 62nd St NW, which facilitate movement between the disparate sections of this high plains environment. This map captures the region at a time when traditional section-line travel remained the primary means of navigating the area south of Palermo toward County Rd 22.
