2014 Map of Burlington

About this map

Burlington serves as the focal point of this Ward County survey, situated at the significant confluence where the Des Lacs River joins the winding Souris River. The landscape is defined by the dramatic topography of the river valleys, carved by drainage features such as Lloyds Coulee and Larsons Coulee. These coulees create deep relief against the surrounding North Dakota plains, dictating the path of local transit and settlement. The map also documents a number of rural landing strips, including Pietschtree Airstrip to the north and Behrens Airstrip to the east, reflecting the regional reliance on aviation. A precise grid of section-line roads like 100th St NW and 62nd Ave NW connects the scattered farmsteads across the plateau, illustrating the enduring township-and-range organization of the prairie.
