2011 Map of Colgan SE

About this map

Twin Butte rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding prairie, anchoring this rural landscape in the northwest corner of the state. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of small, scattered wetlands and glacial potholes typical of the region, which dictated the grid-like placement of the early 21st-century road network. Primary transit is facilitated by North Dakota Highway 85, which runs north-south through the western portion of the quadrangle, while County Rd-14 provides an east-west artery through the southern section. The area's agricultural identity is clearly defined by the precise section-line roads, such as 132nd Ave NW and 97th St Nw, which carve the landscape into a patchwork of productive fields and natural depressions.
