About this map

Upper Des Lacs Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, carving a deep valley through the northern plains. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely populated borderland where the international boundary between Canada and the United States meets the dividing line of Burke and Renville counties. The terrain is defined by a rigid section-line road network, including arterial routes like Cr-2 and 101st St NW, which facilitate movement across the agricultural plateaus overlooking the lake valley. The survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the edge of North Dakota, capturing the relationship between the natural waterway and the engineered grid of the high plains just before the mid-2010s.
