2017 Map of Sawyer

About this map

Sawyer serves as the central settlement on this North Dakota prairie landscape, situated along the Soo Line railroad corridor. The town's layout is defined by Railway St and the transition into the surrounding agricultural acreage of Ward and McHenry counties. The winding course of the Souris River cuts through the northern portion of the map, crossed by the Schilling Bridge and flanked by distinct terrain features like Blackwater Coulee and Skinner Hill. To the east, the prominent elevation of Black Butte provides a landmark for the region, now associated with Black Butte Adventures. Local history is anchored by the Sawyer Cem north of town and the Warren Pietsch Airport, while the southern reaches of the map are defined by the drainage patterns of Oak Cr and the draws of Bonnes Coulee.
