2017 Map of Tower City SW

About this map

The Maple River snakes through the eastern edge of this prairie landscape, defining the topography in an otherwise strictly gridded section of the North Dakota plains. Situated along the border of Barnes and Cass Counties, the area is characterized by the expansive township and range system, with section lines marked by a network of rural routes such as 129th Ave SE and 38th St SE. A primary point of local historical interest is the Holy Trinity Cem, located in the western portion of the map. This site serves as a vital anchor for genealogical research in a region where the human footprint is primarily defined by large-scale agricultural parcels and the occasional shelterbelt. The map reveals the meticulous organization of the land, from the primary corridor of Co Hwy 1 to the smaller county roads that service the surrounding farmsteads.
