2017 Map of Palermo NW

About this map

The Zion Lutheran Cem stands as a focal point for family history in this corner of Mountrail County, set within a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small water bodies. The terrain is structured by a grid of rural roads, including 75th St Nw and 70th St Nw, which trace the section lines typical of the Public Land Survey System. A more descriptive path, the Prairie Trl, cuts through the southwestern portion of the map, suggesting a route that follows the natural contours of the land rather than the strict township grid. This map documents the persistent agricultural and ecological character of the High Plains in the early twenty-first century, where the arrangement of roads and the single church cemetery reflect a low-density settlement pattern that has changed little since the initial homesteading era.
