2014 Map of Whitman

About this map

Whitman sits at the heart of this Nelson County landscape, where the prairie grid is defined by a network of local roads and sections. The town's layout is grounded by Main St S, reflecting a classic North Dakota settlement pattern centered on regional connectivity. North of the town center, the Middle Branch Forest River carves a distinct path through the terrain, its course also identified as the Middle Br Forest River as it winds toward the boundary shared by Walsh and Nelson Counties. This drainage system creates the most significant topographical variation in an otherwise agricultural expanse. Nearby, the E Sarnia Cem serves as a vital touchstone for local genealogy, situated along 53rd St NE east of the river valley. The map documents a quiet period of rural continuity, where county routes like Co Road 11 and Cr-1 facilitate the movement of people and goods across the Red River Valley hinterlands.
