About this map

The Voltaire settlement sits in the southern portion of this McHenry County landscape, positioned along the corridor of Us-52. The geography is defined by a series of glacial depressions and drainage patterns, most notably the meandering Souris River which winds across the northern sections. This waterway is bordered by local transit routes like River Rd N and 1500 River Rd N, reflecting the rural infrastructure of the region.

Several distinct water bodies dot the prairie, including the oddly named Stink Lake and Lake Hester, which are connected by the ephemeral reaches of Stink Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Walley Cem and Westgaard Cem in the north provides specific points of interest for family research. To the west of the town site, Blacktail Coulee and Erickson Lake further illustrate the varied hydrography of the North Dakota plains during the early 21st century.
