2017 Map of Epping NW

About this map

The rolling plains of northwestern North Dakota are captured in this 2017 survey, where a strict section-line road grid organizes the landscape of Williams County. The E Fork Little Muddy River meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a natural break in the geometric alignment of routes like Co Hwy 11 and Co 10. This area is characterized by scattered wetlands and small potholes, typical of the Missouri Plateau's glacial topography. For researchers tracing local heritage, the Bethany Valley Cem stands as a significant landmark in the eastern reaches, marking a site of community memory amidst the agricultural and ranching terrain. The map meticulously documents the transition from the high prairie flats to the more varied drainage patterns near the river, illustrating the intersection of modern infrastructure and traditional land divisions.
