2018 Map of Adrian

About this map

The settlement of Adrian serves as a focal point in this section of LaMoure County, situated near the winding course of the James River. This North Dakota prairie landscape is defined by the agricultural grid of townships T136N R63W and T135N R63W, where the land is cut by the seasonal drainage of Dry Cr. The layout of the region shows a transition between the elevated plains and the river valley, with section lines and local roads connecting the sparse farmsteads that characterize this rural geography. Modern mapping techniques from the U.S. Geological Survey illustrate the precise elevation contours and the network of wetlands that punctuate the fields, reflecting the hydrology of the James River basin.
