About this map

Cut Bank Creek winds through the northeast corner of this McHenry County landscape, representing one of the few natural hydrographic features in an area dominated by the precise geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is defined by a dense grid of section-line roads, such as 83rd St NW and 22nd Ave N, which facilitate the region's agricultural movement. Along the southern boundary, more established thoroughfares like Glenburn Rd and County Hwy-17 provide regional connectivity across the prairie. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of North Dakota, where the vast majority of the landscape is partitioned for cultivation, leaving only scattered small depressions and the singular path of the creek as interruptions to the engineered grid.
