2011 Map of Temple

About this map

Temple stands at the heart of this Williams County landscape, a small settlement defined by its grid of rural section roads and proximity to the Temple Cemetery. The surrounding terrain is organized into a precise rectilinear network of avenues and streets, such as 113th Ave NW and 74th St NW, reflecting the enduring township-and-range surveying system of the northern plains. This early 21st-century documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey shows the area's transition from traditional prairie to a more modern infrastructure, centered on the corridor of County Hwy 19. Small depressions and water bodies are scattered across the landscape, punctuating the agricultural fields that dominate the territory south of the Divide.
