2011 Map of Southam

About this map

Southam stands as a quiet prairie settlement in Ramsey County, positioned within a landscape defined by seasonal wetlands and agricultural grids. This 2011 survey reveals the organized township layout of North Dakota's Drift Prairie, where gravel roads like Ontario Rd and Summer Dr slice through the terrain. To the north, Fox Lake serves as a primary water feature, with the nearby Fox Lake Cemetery providing a critical reference point for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this rural corridor. The map illustrates the transition of the land into a modern drainage pattern, with dozens of small, unnamed prairie potholes scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the glacial history of the region. The proximity of Ontario Dr and a network of numbered avenues, such as 97th Ave NE, highlights the enduring nature of the section-line road system that has governed transport here for over a century.
