2020 Map of Eckelson SW

About this map

Stutsman and Barnes county borders meet in this prairie landscape, defined by a distinct north-south county line road. The terrain is dominated by the pothole wetlands characteristic of the region, most notably Mud Lake in the north and the winding drainage of Streaman Coulee in the southwest. This 2020 survey reveals a highly organized township-and-range grid system, where an extensive network of rural roads like 38th St SE and 94th Ave SE divides the land into regular sections. The map illustrates the persistent agricultural and hydrological patterns of the North Dakota plains, showing how section lines and natural water features dictate the movement and land use across the t139n r62w and t138n r61w townships.
