About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of McLean County is defined by the drainage basins of the Douglas Creek system. Both the Middle Br Douglas Cr and the E Br Douglas Cr (also identified as the East Branch Douglas Creek) meander through the prairie, creating a network of coulees and wetlands that shape the section-line road grid. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of North Dakota, where large-scale land management is punctuated by small, localized landmarks. Notable sites include the Clifton Cem in the northwest and the Fischer Private Airport, illustrating the blend of early pioneer history and contemporary regional aviation. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that have governed this territory since settlement, showing how the natural topography of the creek branches interacts with the surveyed lines of the North American Datum of 1983.
