2017 Map of Egeland

About this map

Egeland serves as the focal point of this northern North Dakota landscape, situated along the southern edge of Towner Co. The terrain is characterized by the high density of prairie potholes and wetlands typical of the region, creating a complex patchwork of small water bodies and seasonal basins. This pattern of drainage suggests a landscape largely shaped by glacial recession, leaving behind numerous depressions that have been integrated into the local township and range surveying system. The road network, including 72nd Ave Ne, 74th Ave Ne, and 92nd St Ne, follows a rigid mile-grid structure, bisecting these natural features and framing the agricultural sections of the territory. This map records the precise intersection of natural hydrologic features and the organized human imposition of property and transport boundaries in the early 21st century.
