2014 Map of Egeland SE

About this map

Big Coulee meanders through the southwestern corner of this Towner County landscape, part of a prairie pothole region defined by numerous small depressions and water-filled basins. The map illustrates a strictly organized agricultural grid, where section lines are traced by routes such as 71st Ave NE and 83rd St NE. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural structure of the plains, including the Egeland Cem north of the main settlement area. While most of the terrain is dedicated to farming, the interplay of the drainage patterns near the coulee and the dense network of county roads like Co Road 4819 and Egeland Rd reveals the intersection of natural hydrology and the rectilinear human imprint on the North Dakota landscape.
