2020 Map of Souris

About this map

The town of Souris serves as the focal point of this Bottineau County landscape, situated where the grid of agricultural roads meets the meandering path of Boundary Cr. This 2020 survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local geography, with Railroad Ave tracing the town's historical connection to rail transport. The surrounding prairie is dotted with numerous small wetlands and sloughs, characteristic of the region's glacial topography near the international border with the United States of America. Genealogy and local history researchers can identify specific family and community sites, such as Bethesda Cem to the northeast and Mountain View Cem just south of the town center. The presence of the Kornkven Airstrip further south highlights the area's ongoing reliance on aviation for transport and agricultural operations in this part of North Dakota.
