2014 Map of Schafer

About this map

Schafer sits at the heart of this North Dakota landscape, a settlement positioned along the route of ND-23. This 2014 survey documents the area just east of the growing regional center of Watford City, showing the transition from the organized grid of the town outskirts to the undulating terrain of the Badlands fringe. Significant for local historians and genealogists, the Schafer Cem is clearly marked near the townsite, preserving a physical record of the early community. The southeastern portion of the map is defined by the Little Missouri National Grassland, where the terrain becomes more complex as it descends toward the river breaks. A dense network of local routes like 31st St NW and 23rd St NW provides access to the agricultural and ranching parcels that dominate the region, while the Watford City Municipal Airport marks the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a hub for modern transport.
