2017 Map of Clementsville

About this map

The boundary between Stutsman Co Barnes Co runs vertically through this prairie landscape, defining the rural character of these North Dakota townships. Small agrarian settlements including Clementsville and Durupt serve as anchor points within a strictly gridded network of section lines and gravel roads. This topography is characterized by numerous small potholes and wetlands, with Scotts Lake being the most prominent water body in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System, where modern infrastructure like Co Hwy 42 and 97th Ave SE continues to follow the early 19th-century township and range lines. This specific arrangement of roads and small water bodies provides a clear view of the glacial till plains that dictate the agricultural patterns of the region.
