2011 Map of Deering NW

About this map

Little Deep Creek meanders through the northern plains of Ward County in this modern topographic study, showing a landscape defined by systematic agricultural sectioning. The terrain is structured by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural routes, such as County Hwy-6 and 198th Ave NE, which reflect the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on North Dakota's settlement patterns. The drainage is defined by the winding paths of Egg Creek and the larger Little Deep Creek, which break the geometric precision of the township and range lines. This map serves as a primary reference for understanding the rural infrastructure and hydraulic layout of the Deering region at the beginning of the 2010s, focusing on the essential crossroads and watercourses that sustain this prairie environment.
