2011 Map of Stampede

About this map

Stampede and the surrounding Burke County plains are defined by a strict section-line grid of rural roads and the wandering path of the East Branch Short Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparsely settled nature of this North Dakota-Saskatchewan borderland, where major thoroughfares like County Rd-2 and secondary routes such as 108th St Nw facilitate travel across the wide agricultural landscape. The creek provides the primary topographic variation in the area, cutting a serpentine path through the northern and southern portions of the quadrangle. For researchers, the map clarifies the precise location of local landmarks and the proximity of the rail line to the Stampede settlement, reflecting the persistent layout of this northern prairie region.
