2017 Map of Plaza NW

About this map

Rolling Prairie Cem sits on the high ground of the Missouri Coteau, overlooking a glaciated landscape defined by numerous prairie potholes and wetlands. This 2017 survey captures the rural boundary where Mountrail County and Ward County meet in central North Dakota. The terrain is characterized by its internal drainage, most notably seen at Carpenter Lake in the northeastern corner, which acts as a collection point for the surrounding hills. A regular grid of section roads, including 57th St NW and 408th St NW, segments the prairie, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in this agricultural region. The map preserves the exact placement of township lines like t155n r88w and t155n r87w, which remain fundamental to local land ownership and genealogy in these prairie communities.
