2024 Map of Wyndmere NW

About this map

Sheyenne National Grassland dominates this landscape in western Richland County, where the prairie environment is defined by its subtle drainage patterns and public land holdings. The meandering path of Antelope Creek cuts through the central sections, serving as the primary hydrologic feature in a region otherwise characterized by numerous seasonal wetlands and depressions. The map reveals the precise section-line grid of the rural road network, with routes like Co Rd 8 and 67th St SE providing access to the interior grassland. For those tracing local heritage, the map preserves the locations of two burial grounds: Nordmanna Cem in the northeastern reaches and Freeman Cem further west. These small, isolated features offer a glimpse into the early settlement patterns of the township before larger-scale conservation efforts established the national grassland.
