2017 Map of Deep

About this map

Souris River dominates this prairie landscape, carving a wide, braided valley through the northern reaches of McHenry County and Bottineau County. This portion of the northern plains shows a highly organized grid of rural roads, including Co Rd 20 and Grassland Trl, which service the agricultural parcels throughout the region. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, evidenced by the Unit 332 Reservoir and the confluence of the Deep River and Stone Creek. Near the southern boundary, the Deep River Cem serves as a localized landmark for genealogists tracing family histories in this rural township. The presence of Johnson Airport in the northern section highlights the area's reliance on small-scale aviation to connect disparate farming communities across the North Dakota landscape.
