2024 Map of Southam

About this map

The small settlement of Southam serves as a quiet focal point in this eastern Ramsey County landscape, characterized by the undulating prairie and wetlands of the Drift Prairie region. Much of the surrounding terrain is dedicated to conservation, notably through the extensive Ramsey County Waterfowl Production Area, which protects vital habitat for migratory birds across multiple sections of the township. The presence of Fox Lake and its associated Fox Lake Cem to the northwest reflects the area's pioneer history and the enduring relationship between the local community and the land. A grid of rural roads, including Co Hwy 4 and Ontario Dr, provides access to these isolated homesteads and protected natural spaces, illustrating the traditional North Dakota land-use pattern where agriculture and conservation coexist.
