2011 Map of Tower City SW

About this map

The Maple River meanders across this rural section of Binghampton Township, where the landscape is defined by the strict geometry of the Public Land Survey System. Agricultural activity and rural life are centered around a network of section-line roads, including 128th Ave SE and 133rd Ave SE, which partition the prairie into vast fields. The presence of Holy Trinity Cemetery along 129th Ave SE serves as a significant landmark for family historians and genealogists researching the local community. This 2011 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates the persistent agricultural character of Barnes County, showing a terrain punctuated by small prairie potholes and wetlands that are characteristic of the North Dakota plains.
