2014 Map of Ayr NE

About this map

Rush River and the S Br Elm River cut through the geometric grid of agricultural fields along the northern edge of Cass County in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by the strict sectional organization of the Red River Valley, where gravel and section roads like 12th St SE and 150th Ave SE mark the boundaries of extensive farmsteads. The Traill Co and Cass Co line runs through the upper portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the political geography of this productive prairie region. A notable point of interest is the Richtsmeier Airport, a private airstrip that emphasizes the practical role of aviation in modern large-scale farming operations. This map documents the persistent rural character and systematic land division that has shaped North Dakota since the original public land surveys.
