2018 Map of Blacktail Coulee

About this map

The Wintering River meanders through the southeastern corner of this North Dakota landscape, a defining drainage in an area characterized by significant topographic depressions and coulees. The terrain is marked by the presence of Blacktail Coulee and Bowers Coulee, which serve as natural landmarks for the surrounding section lines and rural road networks. A strict grid of section roads, including 35th St N and 247th Ave SE, delineates the agricultural divide across the Ward County and McHenry County line. The northern portion of the map is further influenced by the path of Spring Cr, while the southern reaches are accessible via Co Hwy 24. This map provides a detailed view of the water drainage patterns and rural infrastructure that have shaped the local landscape for generations of farming families in the region.
