2011 Map of Ryder

About this map

The small town of Ryder sits at the heart of this Ward County landscape, defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and numerous small prairie potholes. The community is concentrated around several named streets, including S Main St, Andrew St, and Corona St, suggesting a long-established local center within the northern plains. Outside of the residential core, the Ryder Municipal Airfield and the Ryder Cemetery serve as the primary local landmarks. The surrounding terrain is heavily divided by rural roads like 331st Ave SW and 284th St SW, reflecting the persistent importance of the section-line road network in North Dakota's farming economy. The presence of varied water bodies throughout the quadrangle highlights the unique glacial topography of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
