2011 Map of Deering SW

About this map

Egg Creek meanders through the northern and eastern portions of this Ward County landscape, while Livingston Creek enters from the southwest. This 2011 survey reveals the highly organized agricultural grid characteristic of the North Dakota plains, defined by a rigid network of section roads. Major corridors such as 128th Ave NE and 97th St NE delineate the expansive farming tracts. The landscape is sparse, focused on the drainage patterns of the creeks and the systematic division of land. Local history researchers can use this survey to trace the precise location of homesteads and property boundaries established along routes like 42nd St NE and 100th Ave NE as they appeared in the early 21st century.
