2011 Map of Burlington NW

About this map

Egg Creek meanders through the northeast corner of this Ward County landscape, providing the primary natural drainage in a region otherwise defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The area is characterized by a sprawling network of section-line roads, including 74th St NW and 212th Ave NW, which delineate the agricultural grid. This 2011 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects the late 20th-century rural infrastructure of the North Dakota prairie, where a few small, unnamed ponds and seasonal wetlands dot the sections between major corridors like 142nd Ave NW and 36th Ave NW. The map serves as a precise record of rural property boundaries and local road networks at the start of the decade.
