2017 Map of Burlington

About this map

Burlington marks the confluence of two significant waterways in Ward County, where the Des Lacs River joins the winding Souris River. This 2017 survey illustrates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes along the river valleys, contrasting the flat agricultural uplands with the deeply carved terrain of Lloyds Coulee and Larsons Coulee. The town center of Burlington is framed by these natural watercourses, with the local infrastructure including the Pietschtree Airstrip to the north and Behrens Airstrip to the southeast. The map details a transition from the structured grid of rural roads like 128th Ave NW to the more organic development near the river junction. Small drainage features like Livingston Cr feed into the larger river system, highlighting the area's complex hydrology in the northern plains.
