About this map

Oliver Co and Morton Co are divided by a clear survey line in this part of the North Dakota prairie, where a grid of rural roads defines the movement across the landscape. The northern portion of the quadrangle features the Rosebud Cem, a quiet landmark for local genealogical research located off 35th Ave SW. This area is characterized by the headwaters and drainage of Otter Ck, which meanders through the eastern sections. The road network, including arterial routes like Co Hwy 140 and Co Rd 83, suggests a modern agricultural economy built upon the historic Public Land Survey System. The topography is marked by subtle elevation changes that direct the flow of small intermittent streams toward the larger coulees and creek beds.
