2017 Map of Deering SE

About this map

The rolling prairies of the North Dakota interior are prominently defined by the course of Egg Cr and Hay Coulee as they traverse this section of the Souris River basin. Located along the boundary of McHenry and Ward counties, the map documents a strictly rectilinear landscape of section lines and gravel roads. This 2017 topographic survey illustrates a rural environment primarily dedicated to agriculture, where the natural hydrology of the coulees dictates the placement of roads such as 100th Ave NE and 114th Ave NE. The dense network of seasonal wetlands and small prairie potholes visible between the surveyed section corners reveals the complex drainage patterns inherent to this glaciated terrain.
