2014 Map of Adams SW

About this map

The Middle Br Forest River meanders across this corner of Walsh County, defining the drainage of an otherwise systematically ordered prairie landscape. Typical of the Red River Valley's agricultural transition, the territory is divided by a rigid grid of gravel roads and section lines, including 111th Ave NE and 114th Ave NE running north to south, intersected by east-west routes like 66th St NE and 58th St NE. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of small-scale water features and depressions that dot the terrain between the cultivated fields. The absence of concentrated town centers emphasizes the purely rural, agrarian character of the region during the early 21st century, where the river remains the primary natural landmark amidst the geometry of the Public Land Survey System.
