2011 Map of Durbin

About this map

Durbin sits as a central settlement in this Red River Valley landscape, characterized by the meandering path of the Maple River as it cuts through the agricultural grid. The topography is defined by the gradual convergence of prairie waterways, including Buffalo Creek and Swan Creek, which drain the surrounding farmland. The presence of the Durbin Airfield and the settlement of Everest to the northwest reflects the regional transport and aviation infrastructure. A network of section-line roads, such as 155th Ave SE and 40th St SE, organizes the terrain into the precise parcels typical of North Dakota's farming country. This survey illustrates the relationship between the natural riparian corridors and the highly structured human development of the early 21st century.
