About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie potholes characterize this corner of Divide County, North Dakota, in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by a strictly organized section-line grid of rural routes, including the north-south artery of CR-11 and a network of gravel and local roads such as 128th Ave NW and 127th Ave NW. These roads follow the township and range lines, creating a geometric pattern across the undulating terrain. While the area is largely devoid of concentrated settlements, the infrastructure represented by roads like 100th St NW and 93rd St NW reveals the enduring importance of agricultural access in this high plains environment. The density of unnamed wetlands and small water bodies shown between the roads illustrates the complex local drainage of the Missouri Plateau.
