2011 Map of Plaza

About this map

The town of Plaza serves as the central hub for this corner of Mountrail County, organized around a traditional grid of streets and avenues. In the early 21st century, the landscape reflects a structured agricultural community defined by long, straight section-line roads such as County Hwy-3143 and 49th St NW. These corridors connect the small settlement to its outliers and provide access to the numerous small seasonal wetlands and depressions scattered across the prairie. Local heritage and community foundations are anchored by three distinct burial grounds near the town center: First Lutheran Cemetery, East Community Cemetery, and Sacred Heart Cemetery. For those interested in local transportation and aviation history, the presence of Trulson Field just west of the town site offers insight into the practical infrastructure of rural North Dakota life.
