2020 Map of Paulson

About this map

Bounty, Juno, and Paulson sit along the section-line grid of Divide County, just south of the border with the United States of America and Canada. This landscape is defined by the rigid rectangular survey system, where North Dakota state highway Nd 5 and local roads like 102nd St Nw provide the primary east-west corridors. Small clusters of local history are preserved in names like Long Creek Cem, located in the northeast, while the rest of the terrain is marked by a network of ephemeral wetlands and seasonal basins. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where widely spaced settlements are connected by a precise grid of numerical routes such as 117th Ave NW and 113th Ave NW, reflecting the enduring structure of the Great Plains homesteading era into the early twenty-first century.
