2011 Map of Casselton SE

About this map

The Maple River meanders through the northwest and eastern sections of this North Dakota landscape, defining the local drainage patterns and topography in an area characterized by its grid-based agricultural development. Water management is a central theme of the terrain, highlighted by the Brownlee Dam situated along the river's path. The map reveals a strictly organized network of section-line roads, including 160th Ave SE and 42nd St SE, which facilitate the transportation and farming needs of the region. A notable point of localized utility is the Kraft Landing Strip, a private aviation feature typical of large-scale prairie agriculture. This survey documents the intersection of natural riverine curves with the rigid human-imposed geometry of Cass County at the start of the 2010s.
