About this map

Maple River meanders sharply across the southern portion of this Red River Valley landscape, creating a complex series of oxbows and riparian curves that contrast with the rigid sectional grid of Cass County. This 2014 survey captures the agrarian character of the region, where small settlements like Durbin and Everest serve as focal points for the surrounding farmstead network. The rectilinear alignment of rural roads, including 155th Ave SE and 40th St SE, defines the modern land use patterns common to this part of North Dakota.

Transportation infrastructure is prominent, notably the Casselton Robert Miller Regional Airport situated in the northern half of the map. Drainage for these fertile plains is managed by the persistent courses of Buffalo Cr and Swan Cr, which cut through the level terrain. This map serves as a precise record of the early 21st-century rural landscape, detailing the precise relationship between natural watercourses and the human-imposed township and range system.
