About this map

Lake Darling and the Souris River valley dominate this landscape along the border of Renville County and Ward County. The topography is defined by the winding river systems and seasonal water bodies like Pond A and Pond B, which are fed by drainage features including Mackobee Coulée and Blacks Coulee. Cultural landmarks are centered on historical points of gathering and rest, such as Saint Henrys Cem in the northeast and Des Lacs Valley Cem near the Des Lacs River in the southwest.

The Saint Marys Bridge provides a crossing over the Souris River, connecting the rural road network. Modern conservation and recreation are visible through the inclusion of the Oxbow Nature Trail and Cottonwood Nature Trail, which navigate the riparian zones. This survey captures the transition between the high plains and the fertile river bottoms that have long supported agricultural and community life in this part of North Dakota.
