2020 Map of Claire City NW

About this map

Little Minnesota River begins its course in the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, a vital waterway within a landscape defined by complex jurisdictional boundaries and glacial hydrology. The map captures the intersection of four counties across the North Dakota and South Dakota border: Richland, Sargent, Marshall, and Roberts. This rural expanse is characterized by significant depressions and ephemeral water bodies, most notably the wide Park Lakebed and the nearby Kennedy Slough. A strictly oriented grid of section-line roads, including 98th St SE and 101st St SE, provides the primary infrastructure for the scattered farmsteads and agricultural operations that populate these prairie townships.
