2011 Map of Westhope SW

About this map

The Week Cemetery sits near the eastern edge of this landscape, a lone landmark in the open agricultural plains of Bottineau County. The area is defined by a rigorous township-and-range grid, with gravel and paved roads such as 22nd Ave NW and 95th St NW forming the primary transportation network across the prairie. Small prairie potholes and drainage basins are scattered throughout the sections, reflecting the natural hydrography of the northern plains. Near the southern border, County Rd-17B provides a more significant thoroughfare, connecting the local grid to the broader region. This 2011 survey illustrates the persistent rural character and large-scale farming patterns of the North Dakota borderlands during the early twenty-first century.
