2014 Map of Ardoch

About this map

The small town of Ardoch is the primary settlement on this agricultural landscape, situated along a prominent north-south rail line that cuts diagonally through the section. This region of the Red River Valley shows a highly structured grid of section lines, including 36th Ave NE, which defines the border between Walsh and Grand Forks Counties. The local hydrology is dominated by the Forest River and the sprawling Lake Ardoch, which are supported by an extensive network of man-made drainage systems like County Ditch Number 13 and County Ditch Number 19. These features illustrate the intensive land management required to sustain farming in this flat, fertile terrain. Within the village itself, local naming persists on short thoroughfares such as Wall St, providing a focused view of the town's compact footprint amidst the surrounding fields.
