About this map

The James River meanders through the heart of this Stutsman County landscape, carving a wide valley through the North Dakota prairie. The settlement of Ypsilanti serves as the local hub, situated where the river valley intersects with Co Hwy 38 and Co Hwy 63. To the south of the town site, Valley Cem is positioned on the rising ground overlooking the river, offering a significant location for genealogical research.

Drainage patterns are defined by notable tributaries including Sevenmile Coulee to the north and Streaman Coulee in the southeast corner. The northern settlement of Reeves and the small Sperr Airport east of Ypsilanti indicate the continued agricultural and aviation utility of the region. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road network, such as 88th Ave SE and 44th St SE, which grid the high ground between the coulees and the central river basin.
