2018 Map of Rutland

About this map

Rutland stands as the primary hub of this prairie landscape in Sargent County, situated at the intersection of a grid of local roads and the regional corridor of Co Rd 3. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and water bodies, most notably the meandering course of the Wild Rice River in the south and Crooked Cr to the north. These waterways feed into several distinct basins, including Silver Lake, Sprague Lake, and Lake Mann, which break up the agricultural rhythm of the section lines. This 2018 survey reveals a rural landscape where history is preserved in sites like Trinity Cem, located west of the main settlement. The map illustrates how modern property boundaries and section roads like 96th St SE follow the legacy of the Public Land Survey System across the North Dakota plains.
