2024 Map of Wellsburg

About this map

Wellsburg stands as the primary settlement within this central North Dakota landscape, situated near the intersection of several section roads in Wells County. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Sheyenne River, which cuts a narrow valley through the plains in the southern portion of the quadrangle. North of the river, the prominent height of Butte de Morale provides a significant landmark overlooking the surrounding prairie. This area reflects a highly organized township-and-range agricultural system, with a dense grid of local roads like 31st St NE and 35th Ave NE providing access to farmlands. Conservation efforts are evident in the south, where the Wells County Waterfowl Production Area occupies the wetlands and drainage basins, preserving critical habitat within this productive grain-growing region.
