2020 Map of Plaza

About this map

The town of Plaza serves as the focal point of this North Dakota landscape at the junction of Co Hwy 20 and Main St. The grid of the township is reflected in the systematic arrangement of rural roads like 47th St NW and 177th Ave SW, which carve through the prairie. Local history is deeply rooted in the area's spiritual and community life, as evidenced by several burial grounds including First Lutheran Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and the East Community Cem. Just north of the town center, Trulson Field marks a local landmark, while further east, the Spring Valley Lutheran Cem stands near the border of Ward and Mountrail counties. This survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and small-town structure of the region, where family and faith are anchored by these specific landmarks and cemeteries.
