About this map

The Des Lacs River valley cuts a deep diagonal through the North Dakota prairie, creating a landscape defined by dramatic coulees and high overlooks. Along the river's winding path toward the southeast, the settlement of Donnybrook sits at the base of prominent landmarks like Church Hill and Mike King Hill. This 2014 survey documents the complex topography of the river's drainage system, naming numerous erosion-carved features such as Mcintosh Coulee, Spencer Coulee, and Jack Power Coulee.

On the western edge of the quadrangle, the Mountrail Co Ward Co boundary follows the section lines, while the north is dominated by the southern reaches of Lower Des Lacs Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for cultural landmarks including Holbrook Cem and significant natural high points like Marble Point, reflecting the intersection of family-named geography and the physical realities of the High Plains.
