2011 Map of Carbury

About this map

Carbury sits at the intersection of a sprawling agricultural grid along the international border with Manitoba. This region of Bottineau County is defined by its rectilinear road network, including County Rd 6 NE and numerous numeric avenues that segment the prairie landscape. The natural topography is shaped by glacial depressions, most notably Strawberry Lake in the east and the meandering course of Stone Creek as it winds through the southern fields. The presence of Old State Hwy 14 tracing through the settlement of Carbury highlights the shift from early transit corridors to the modern section-line roads that dominate the territory today. This survey captures a rural landscape where the placement of farmsteads and water bodies dictates the local geography within a rigid human-imposed survey system.
