2020 Map of Spiritwood

About this map

Spiritwood and Urbana anchor this section of the prairie, where the border between Stutsman and Barnes Counties divides a landscape of glacial depressions and wetlands. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small water bodies and seasonal basins, with larger features like Island Lake, Goose Lake, and Rush Island Lake punctuating the eastern and western edges. A strict section-line road grid, including Airport Rd and Co Rd 40, defines the agricultural layout, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in this part of North Dakota. Modern infrastructure is represented by the heavy corridor of Interstate 94, which cuts across the southern portion of the map, contrasting with the quiet residential and grain-handling character of the local settlements.
