2011 Map of Upham

About this map

Upham serves as the primary settlement on this McHenry County landscape, situated where the grid of rural section roads meets the winding path of Cut Bank Creek. The hydrology of the region is significantly defined by the broad, braided waters of the Souris River as it flows toward the Unit 320 Reservoir. Managed water levels are evident at Dam Number 320, which regulates the river’s course through this northern prairie environment. Local history and genealogy researchers will find the locations of Bloomfield Cemetery and Melankton Cemetery clearly marked, alongside specialized infrastructure such as the J Clark Salyer Refuge Landing Field. The map records a transition point where the river is crossed by the Freeman Bridge, highlighting the vital road connections like Main St and County Hwy-17 that link this agricultural community to the surrounding plains.
