2014 Map of Deisem

About this map

Deisem is the central point of interest in this agricultural landscape of LaMoure County. The terrain is defined by a grid of section-line roads, such as 67th St SE and 77th Ave SE, which organize the prairie into a distinct pattern of land use. Natural drainage follows the meandering paths of Cottonwood Cr in the north and Maple Cr further south, cutting through the elevation contours of the plains. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural structure of the region, where the intersection of named avenues and streets preserves the spatial history of local farming homesteads and small-scale settlements. The topography reveals numerous small depressions and seasonal wetlands typical of this part of North Dakota.
