2011 Map of Wildrose

About this map

Wildrose sits at the southern edge of this prairie landscape, where a dense grid of residential streets like 1st Ave and Main St meets the open agricultural expanse. The town's layout is centered around the intersection of Railroad Ave and local thoroughfares, reflecting its origins as a center for transport and trade. Just west of the town center lies Grace Cemetery, a significant site for genealogical research in this part of Williams County. Outside the town, the topography is defined by numerous prairie potholes and wetlands, including Willow Lake, Piepers Lake, and the expansive Big Slough. This network of water bodies and sloughs, such as Thorsons Lake and Rosten Slough, breaks up the rigid section lines of the township's gravel road system, illustrating the persistence of the natural drainage patterns amidst the highly structured rural road grid of the North Dakota plains.
