2014 Map of Sheyenne

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds across the northern landscape of this prairie region, which straddles the boundary between Benson Co and Eddy Co. The town of Sheyenne serves as the local hub, situated where Us-281 intersects local routes like Cottonwood Ave and CR-1. Settlement patterns in this part of North Dakota are marked by a series of rural burial grounds, including Holy Cross Cem, Riverside Cem, and Morningside Cem, which offer significant data points for genealogical research. To the south, the small community of Divide and the level terrain of Tiffany Flats define a landscape dominated by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, such as 24th St NE and 71st Ave NE, which facilitated the region's agricultural development.
