2018 Map of Ruso

About this map

Ruso stands as the primary settlement in this central North Dakota landscape, situated at the meeting point of three counties. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of small glacial prairie potholes and wetlands, with Otis Lake serving as a significant water body in the eastern portion of the survey. A rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads, including 32nd St N, partitions the terrain, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the regional layout. Local history is anchored by the Ruso Lutheran Cem, located south of the main township. The boundary between Ward, McHenry, and McLean counties passes directly through this area, highlighting Ruso's position as a cross-county hub for the surrounding agricultural community.
