2011 Map of Ray

About this map

The town of Ray serves as the central hub of this Williams County landscape, organized by a strict section-line grid typical of the Great Plains. The settlement is anchored by a detailed street plan including Main St, Church St, and Lake St, reflecting its role as a regional service point. Just south of the town center, McLeod Lake and the Ray Railroad Dam highlight the critical role of water management and rail infrastructure in supporting local industry and life. The presence of both Saint Michaels Cemetery and Sunset Rest Cemetery on the periphery of the town provides valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing early families. Beyond the town limits, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek and a network of rural roads like County Hwy-17, illustrating the vast agricultural stretches that surround this North Dakota community.
