2018 Map of Ryder

About this map

Ryder serves as the primary hub of this Ward County landscape, centered around the intersection of Main St and 3rd Ave. The town is neatly organized by a grid that gives way to a sprawling network of numbered rural roads, such as 303rd Ave SW and 254th St SW, which define the agricultural sections of the surrounding prairie. A distinct cluster of wetlands and small water bodies punctuate the terrain, particularly north and east of the main settlement. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Ryder Cem situated north of the town center, a notable landmark in this sparsely populated region. The map captures the area's transition from a concentrated townsite to the wide-reaching sectional lines that characterize North Dakota's farming country.
