2014 Map of Backoo

About this map

Cavalier sits on the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape in Pembina County, where the sprawling grid of section lines meets the winding course of the Tongue River. The river forms a central corridor through the prairie, feeding into Lake Renwick near the small settlement of Akra. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its transportation and aviation infrastructure, from the rural crossroads at Backoo to the Cavalier Municipal Airport and the private Hinkle Airport. State and county routes like Nd-5 and Co 12 serve as the primary arteries for this northern Red River Valley community, connecting isolated farmsteads and small clusters of homes across a wide-open terrain of drainage ditches and straight-line gravel roads.
