2014 Map of Temvik

About this map

Temvik stands as a small settlement in the northern reaches of Emmons County, situated along the path of U.S. Route 83. The landscape is defined by the prominent heights of Temvik Butte and Winchester Butte, which rise above the undulating prairie and agricultural grid. The drainage of the region is directed through the winding channels of Sand Cr and Beaver Cr, the latter of which meanders across the southern portion of the map near Heidrich Slough. For those researching local family history, the map identifies two significant burial sites: the Temvik Cem near the townsite and the Sand Creek Cem situated further west. The strict section-line road system, including routes like 72nd St SE and 1st Ave SE, illustrates the persistent township-and-range organization of this North Dakota farming country.
