2017 Map of Derrick NW

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands dominate this portion of Ramsey County, reflecting the characteristic geography of the North Dakota drift plain. The section lines of the Public Land Survey System define the movement across this landscape, where gravel roads like Co Hwy 9 and a network of arterial routes such as 73rd St NE and 67th St NE provide the only reliable access through the marshy terrain. The map meticulously documents these water bodies, which are critical for local drainage and migratory bird habitats.
