About this map

Little Knife River winds through the northwestern corner of this territory, carving a drainage pattern into the rolling prairie of Mountrail County. This landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines are traced by local roads such as 48th St NW and 82nd Ave NW. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and kettle ponds, typical of the glaciated plains, which scatter across the townships of T153N and T154N. While the area remains predominantly open and rural, the network of gravel roads like 85th Ave NW and 43rd St NW provides access to this remote portion of the North Dakota oil patch, illustrating the intersection of traditional agricultural land divisions with modern infrastructure.
