2011 Map of Richardton

About this map

Richardton serves as the central hub of this Stark County landscape, oriented around a grid of rural section-line roads and the regional infrastructure of the early 21st century. The town's spiritual and community history is anchored by the Assumption Abbey Dam and Abbey Lake, reflecting the influence of the nearby monastic tradition. Local heritage is further preserved at Saint Marys Cemetery and Evangelical Cemetery, providing essential data points for genealogists and family historians researching the settlement of this portion of North Dakota. Outside the immediate town site, the Richardton Airport and a network of arterial routes like County Rd 139 show the area's modern connectivity within a predominantly agricultural landscape, where the vast majority of the terrain is defined by the survey-grid roads such as 29th St SW and 89th Ave SW.
