2014 Map of Crary NW

About this map

Rohrville anchors the southeastern corner of this Ramsey County landscape, a region defined by the complex hydrology of the Devils Lake basin. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and depressions, typical of the glaciated plains of North Dakota. In the northern section of the map, Edmore Coulee winds through the topography, serving as a primary drainage feature for the surrounding agricultural sections. The map reveals a highly structured rectilinear grid of county roads, including 87th Ave NE and 57th St NE, which divide the land into neat square-mile parcels. This intersection of natural prairie wetlands and rigid human organization illustrates the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in defining the rural American West.
