The settlement of Ardoch serves as a central hub in this Red River Valley landscape, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern and Soo Line railroads. The topography is defined by its agricultural and conservation character, notably featuring the Lake Ardoch basin within the Ardoch National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals an extensive water management system designed for the flat prairie, marked by several artificial channels such as County Ditch No 13 and County Ditch No 19. To the south, the Prairie Chicken State Game Management Area occupies large tracts of land in Levant township, while the winding course of the Forest River and the Turtle River provide the primary natural drainage across the Walsh and Grand Forks county lines.
