2024 Map of Schefield

About this map

Schefield anchors this prairie landscape in the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a primary point of settlement near the boundary between Stark Co and Hettinger Co. The small community is marked by the presence of the Saint Pius Cem, which provides a focal point for local genealogical research and family history. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of Antelope Creek, which cuts through the township sections as it flows eastward. A precise grid of section-line roads, including Main S and 114th Ave SW, reveals the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System. This modern topographic study shows the persistence of small agricultural settlements and the rural infrastructure that has supported this portion of North Dakota for generations.
