2018 Map of Eckelson SW

About this map

The Stutsman Co Barnes Co border divides this 2018 survey, which reveals a landscape of high-plains agriculture and glacial depressions. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, Mud Lake serves as a prominent hydrological anchor, surrounded by numerous smaller seasonal wetlands that dot the prairie. The terrain is structured by a rigid section-line road grid, including 38th St SE and 96th Ave SE, reflecting the legacy of the Public Land Survey System. In the southwest corner, the topography shifts slightly with the presence of Streaman Coulee, a natural drainage feature that disrupts the otherwise consistent agricultural blocks. This map provides a clear record of modern rural infrastructure and land use, showing the distribution of farmsteads and field boundaries across the North Dakota plains.
