2017 Map of Upham

About this map

Upham serves as the central settlement in this North Dakota landscape, situated along a grid of section lines that define the agricultural character of McHenry County. The terrain is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of the Souris River basin, which winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle. Significant water management is evident with the Unit 320 Reservoir, a large body of water that interrupts the rural road network. Local history is anchored by the Bloomfield Cem just north of town and Melankton Cem near the river, providing vital points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the region. The landscape is further shaped by the meandering Cut Bank Creek and the infrastructure of the Freeman Bridge, which facilitates movement across the river's complex system of marshes and channels.
