2011 Map of Sawyer

About this map

Sawyer serves as the focal point of this Ward County landscape, where the meandering path of the Souris River dictates the local geography and transportation routes. In the early 21st century, the township remains defined by its grid of rural roads and distinct topographical landmarks like Skinner Hill and Black Butte. The area’s community history is anchored by the Sawyer Cemetery north of the river and the Schilling Bridge which crosses the water to the east. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into a network of intermittent drainage, primarily along Oak Creek, and includes localized terrain features such as Blackwater Coulee. This survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of the High Plains, characterized by long-distance section roads like 107th Ave SE and the passage of Prospect Trl.
