2011 Map of Starkweather NE

About this map

Starweather Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery sit along the western edge of this Ramsey County landscape, marking the enduring community ties of this North Dakota prairie. The terrain is defined by a strict section-line road grid, including 83rd Ave NE and 85th Ave NE, which intersect with east-west routes like 73rd St NE and 74th St NE. This geometry illustrates the late 19th-century homesteading patterns that divided the Great Plains into predictable blocks for agriculture. Countless small depressions and seasonal wetlands are scattered across the fields between 87th Ave NE and 88th Ave NE, revealing the glacial pothole geography typical of the region. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the area in its modern state, maintaining the same rural infrastructure established over a century prior.
