2024 Map of Sheldon NW

About this map

The winding course of the Maple River carves a distinct path through the flat agricultural landscape of southeastern North Dakota. This section of the river valley is characterized by complex meanders and erosion patterns that stand in sharp contrast to the rigid grid of section roads like 49th St SE and Co Rd 16. In the western portion of the map, the Highland Township Pioneer Cem remains a significant point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the area. Land use in this region reflects a balance between aviation and conservation, evidenced by the private J Vining Airport and the expansive Cass County Waterfowl Production Area in the north. The southern boundary follows the Cass Co Ransom Co line, marking the transition between these two rural jurisdictions.
