About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie potholes define the landscape of this Divide County region, where the section-line road grid organizes a sparsely populated agricultural expanse. Surveyed for the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-2010s, the terrain is partitioned by township boundaries including t162n r98w, t162n r97w, t161n r98w, and t161n r97w. The transportation network is built upon a rigid system of gravel and dirt routes such as 119th Ave NW and 100th St NW, reflecting the late-era Rural Addressing System used to manage this remote corner of North Dakota. The primary corridor for local transit is Co 14, which cuts horizontally across the southern half of the quadrangle. For researchers, this map clarifies the contemporary land use and hydraulic patterns of the northern Great Plains, illustrating how modern road designations have overlaid the original public land survey system.
