About this map

The Grand Forks and Traill County line divides this stretch of North Dakota prairie, where the landscape is defined by the rigid precision of the Public Land Survey System. The township boundaries of t149n r51w and t148n r51w organize a sparse network of section-line roads, including Co Hwy 25 and 157th Ave Ne, which facilitate the region's agricultural economy. The meandering path of Cole Cr provides a rare organic break in the geometric grid as it winds through the northern sections. In the southeast, the Calvary Cem stands as a quiet marker of the local community's history near the intersection of 14th St Ne and Co Hwy 25. This survey captures the rural character of the Red River Valley hinterlands, showing how drainage and topography influenced the placement of the few structures present in this wide-open farming country.
