2024 Map of Towner NW

About this map

The Souris River meanders through this portion of McHenry County, creating a distinct riparian corridor amidst the surrounding agricultural grid. Within these wetlands and oxbows, the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge preserves the natural state of the river valley as it transitions across the North Dakota plains. The survey highlights a landscape organized by a strict section-line road network, including thoroughfares like Willow Rd and Willow Hwy. Genealogists and local historians will find the Mouse River Cem situated near the intersection of 68th St NE and 5th Ave NE, serving as a silent anchor for the rural community. The map illustrates the persistence of small-scale prairie infrastructure, where long stretches of gravel roads like 9th Ave NE connect isolated homesteads and farmland across the townships of t158n r75w and t157n r75w.
