About this map

Upper Des Lacs Lake dominates the central landscape of this northern prairie region, cutting a deep valley through the high plains of the Missouri Coteau. This survey captures the international frontier at the Canada United States of America border, where the land transition between Burke and Renville counties is marked by a rigid rectilinear grid of section lines and gravel roads. The topography is defined by the contrast between the flat upland agricultural blocks and the complex drainage patterns feeding into the lake basin. Sparse and primarily rural, the area is organized by numbered routes like 64th Ave NW and 109th St NW, reflecting the late-20th-century development of the region's transport infrastructure for local ranching and farming operations.
