2014 Map of Bell Coulee East

About this map

The Cannonball River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, marking the boundary between Grant and Sioux counties. This rural expanse is defined by the drainage of Bell Coulee and the uniquely named Leaf on the Hill Cr, which feeds into the larger river system from the south. The terrain is sparsely developed, centered around a grid of section line roads like ND-31 and 86th St SW that serve the outlying prairie. A small point of genealogical interest, Saint Gabriel Cem, sits along 43rd Ave SW, providing a specific landmark for local history researchers in this part of the Porcupine District. The map captures the intersection of high plains topography and the systematic road network that defines North Dakota's agricultural interior.
