2020 Map of Burgess

About this map

Township Hill and Van Duesen Hill anchor this rural landscape in Morton County, where the terrain is defined by the drainage of the Chanta Peta Cr and its tributaries. The eastern edge of the survey area is marked by the meandering path of the E Fork Chanta Peta Cr, while Louse Cr winds through the southern reaches. This modern topographical study illustrates a late 20th-century development of the section-line road system, including routes like Co Rd 82 and Co Rd 134, which connect the high points and creek valleys. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System structure, delineating boundaries for T135N and T134N across ranges R83W and R82W, reflecting the enduring legacy of the rectangular survey system in the North Dakota plains.
