2014 Map of Bottineau SE

About this map

The Turtle Mountains rise across the northern portion of this landscape, creating a distinct upland terrain characterized by small basins and the waters of Bear Lake. This 2014 survey documents the rural character of northern North Dakota, where the transition from the wooded hills to the open plains below is marked by a grid of section-line roads like 18th Ave NE and 97th St NE. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the land flattens as it approaches the drainage of Miller Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Tarsus Cem near the intersection of Nd-5 and 19th Ave NE provides a vital point of reference for the families who settled this border region. The map also traces the primary corridors of Nd-5 and Nd-60, which connect the scattered agricultural homesteads to the wider region.
