2011 Map of South Prairie

About this map

South Prairie stands as a focal point in this portion of Ward County, situated along a primary north-south corridor amidst a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and scattered prairie potholes. The terrain is structured by a network of rural routes such as 107th Ave SW and 27th St SE, which facilitate access to the vast farming tracts of the region. Local history and genealogy are anchored by Saron Cemetery, a central landmark for documenting the families who settled this area of the High Plains. To the north, the Schofield Dam regulates local water, while Nelson Lake serves as a notable basin in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map illustrates the 21st-century configuration of these rural homesteads and township roads, showing the persistent organization of land that has characterized the North Dakota plains for generations.
