About this map

Underwood serves as the primary hub of this McLean County landscape, where the grid of residential streets like Roosevelt Ave and Borchardt Ave meets the open agricultural plains. The 2011 survey reveals a well-organized rural infrastructure, anchored by the Underwood Municipal Airport to the north and a network of county highways. To the south, the terrain softens into the wetlands of Weller Slough, providing a distinct contrast to the linear precision of the surrounding section lines and farm roads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of three distinct burial grounds: Underwood Cemetery near the town center, Saint Johns Cemetery to the west, and the more isolated Zoar Cemetery along County Hwy 16. The northern edge of the map identifies Riverdale Junction, indicating a key intersection of transportation routes that have shaped the settlement patterns of this central North Dakota prairie region.
