2017 Map of Sheldon

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a wooded valley that contrasts with the surrounding agricultural prairie. Near the village of Sheldon, the grid of section roads like 57th St SE and 140th Ave SE defines the rural character of Ransom County. The map documents the protected lands of the Sheyenne National Grassland and the Ransom County Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting a region managed for both conservation and public land use. Notable river crossings including McCusker Bridge, Legg Bridge, and Larson Bridge provide critical infrastructure for the small community of Anselm and nearby rural residents. Local aviation is represented by the Kraig Farms Airport, highlighting the integration of farm operations and transportation in this part of North Dakota.
