2014 Map of Derrick NW

About this map

Glacial potholes and small, unnamed wetlands define the prairie landscape of north-central Ramsey County in this 2014 survey. The area is dominated by a precise section-line road network, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in North Dakota's agricultural heartland. Nd-17 provides the primary east-west passage across this undulating terrain, which is otherwise navigated by a grid of unpaved local routes including 92nd Ave NE and 90th Ave NE. While the map is devoid of named settlements or civic institutions, the high density of small basins and intricate contour work at five-foot intervals offers a detailed look at the local hydrology and drainage patterns. This document captures a moment of modern land use where historical townships like 74th St Ne and 67th St Ne remain anchored by their surveyed boundaries.
