2020 Map of Stirum

About this map

The small settlement of Stirum sits at the heart of this Sargent County landscape, where the flat agricultural plains of North Dakota are defined by a meticulous grid of section lines and township roads. This modern survey illustrates a quiet prairie community organized around landmarks like the Stirum Cem and the nearby Harlem Cem, which serve as significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the families who settled this region. The natural hydrology is characterized by numerous small wetlands and the prominent Big Slough, which meanders across the central portion of the quadrangle. The township divisions, including t132n r57w and t131n r57w, provide the essential framework for understanding property boundaries and the enduring rural structure of the Great Plains in the early twenty-first century.
