2020 Map of Deep

About this map

The Souris River meanders south through this corner of the Great Plains, defining a landscape of wide river bottoms and coulees. Near the small settlement of Deep, the river system expands into the Unit 332 Reservoir, surrounded by extensive wetlands and brush. The local geography is marked by the confluence of the Deep River and Stone Creek as they join the main channel of the Souris. This 2020 map documents the rural road grid that serves the agricultural border between Bottineau and McHenry counties. Genealogists and local historians will find significant sites such as the Saint John Lutheran Cem and the Deep River Cem, which anchor the small community history of this North Dakota prairie. The terrain features, such as LaPorte Coulee, reveal the natural drainage patterns of the region's flat topography.
