2014 Map of Sterling

About this map

The settlement of Sterling anchors this portion of Burleigh County, situated at a major transportation junction in the North Dakota prairie. The map details a landscape defined by its grid-based agricultural roads, including 57th Ave NE and Lincoln Rd, which segment the rolling terrain into expansive sections. Water features provide distinct landmarks in this otherwise uniform topography, most notably Sterling Reservoir to the east and the winding course of Random Cr which feeds into Random Lake. Local history is anchored by the Sterling Cem and the central Po, reflecting the community infrastructure serving the surrounding rural sections during the early 21st century. The map effectively captures the intersection of major transit corridors with the persistent patterns of Great Plains land division.
