2024 Map of Stirum

About this map

The settlement of Stirum sits at the heart of this North Dakota prairie landscape, defined by a grid of rural roads and expansive wetlands. The terrain is characterized by numerous small basins and the prominent Big Slough, illustrating the terminal moraine geography of the region. Local history is anchored by the Stirum Cem and the more remote Harlem Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's pioneer heritage and the families who established these townships. A significant portion of the west-central area is dedicated to the Sargent County Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a vital corridor for migratory birds. The map details the precise township and range divisions, such as t132n r57w and t131n r56w, which governed the original homesteading and land development in Sargent County.
