2011 Map of Claire City NW

About this map

The Little Minnesota River meanders across the southeast corner of this landscape, marking a significant hydrologic feature in a region defined by its wide agricultural sections. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Park Lakebed, a terrain feature that suggests the area's post-glacial history and changing water levels over time. The land is organized by a strict rectilinear grid of rural roads, including County Rd 22 and County Rd 19, which facilitate movement across the border of North Dakota and South Dakota. This 2011 survey captures the area as a modern agricultural expanse, where small intermittent water bodies are scattered across the sections, reflecting the prairie pothole geography characteristic of this borderland district.
