2014 Map of Selz NW

About this map

The North Fork Sheyenne River (also labeled as the N Fork Sheyenne River) winds through this portion of Pierce County, defining a landscape marked by glacial depression lakes and a rigid section-line road grid. The presence of Strasburg Cem near 31st Ave NE serves as a primary landmark for local history and genealogical research in this rural area. Surface water is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with Lesmeister Lake and the Sandy Lakes clustered in the northwestern quadrant. The map reflects the enduring township-and-range organization of the North Dakota prairie, where numbered routes like ND-3 and a network of gravel roads, including 37th St NE and 29th Ave NE, facilitate movement across the agricultural plains.
