2017 Map of Bottineau SE

About this map

Turtle Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Bottineau County quadrangle, where the terrain breaks into the high, rolling character of this distinctive landform. This 2017 study illustrates the transition from the wooded uplands of the north into the lower, pothole-dotted plains to the south. Central to the rural landscape is Tarus Cem, a site of genealogical significance located just north of 96th St NE. The map tracks the drainage patterns and water features essential to the region's ecology, including Bear Lake in the north and the meandering Miller Cr in the southeast. A grid of section roads like 95th St NE and named routes such as Glacier Ridge Dr define the agricultural boundaries of this borderland territory, documenting the modern footprint of land use in North Dakota.
