2020 Map of Eckman

About this map

The prairie landscape of the Bottineau and McHenry County border is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and the meandering path of Cut Bank Creek. Small rural communities like Eckman and Dunning anchor the township, serving as local nodes for the surrounding farmsteads. The importance of family and community history is visible in the preservation of several local burying grounds, including Betania Cemetery, Holden Cemetery, and Riverside Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the quadrangle. Transportation is primarily facilitated by a network of numbered gravel and dirt roads, such as 90th St NW and 84th St NW, while Tengesdal Airport provides a localized aviation point. This survey reflects the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t160n r80w organizing the North Dakota plains.
