2017 Map of Schefield

About this map

Schefield sits at a remote prairie intersection in the southwestern North Dakota highlands, where the grid-iron road system of Stark and Hettinger Counties dictates the landscape. This 2017 study illustrates a region defined by its agricultural geometry, with section-line roads like Main S and 115th Ave SW connecting isolated farmsteads across the high plains. The drainage of Antelope Creek provides the primary topographic variation, carving shallow draws through the nearly 2,800-foot elevations of the surrounding terrain. Land use here is strictly divided by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the clear township boundaries such as t137n r97w and t137n r96w. The map provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure, from the southern boundary at 54th St SW to the various unnamed structures that comprise the small community of Schefield.
