About this map

Minneapolis Flats defines the central topography of this section of Stutsman County, characterized by the wide, gentle drainage patterns typical of the North Dakota plains. The landscape is primarily agricultural, subdivided by a rigid grid of rural roads such as 38th St SE and 72nd Ave SE that follow the section lines of Township 139 North. The intermittent flow of Beaver Cr winds through the southern reaches of the survey, highlighting the subtle water systems that sustain the local prairie. This modern topographic record captures the enduring rural character of the region, where the vastness of the flats is only interrupted by the occasional section road or county thoroughfare like Co Hwy 65.
