About this map

The Little Muddy River winds through this rural section of Williams County, joined by its E Fork Little Muddy River and several smaller tributaries. This prairie landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System, with a rigid grid of gravel roads following section lines across several townships including t156n r100w. The hydrologic network of Otter Tail Cr and Cow Cr feeds into the main river channel, shaping the low-lying drainage basins that cut through the high plains. While modern roads like Co Rd 8 provide contemporary access, the map preserves the foundational 19th-century land divisions that continue to dictate the placement of farmsteads and transport corridors in western North Dakota.
