About this map

The rolling prairies of Williams County are defined here by a systematic grid of section lines and rural corridors, including the prominent Co Hwy 11 and 130th Ave NW. This survey reflects the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System, where townships like t158n r99w and t157n r98w organize the high plains landscape into regular parcels. Scattered wetlands and depressions punctuate the terrain, particularly in the northern reaches above 73rd St NW, suggesting a landscape of prairie potholes that influence local drainage and road placement.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Bethany Valley Cem near the eastern edge of the quadrangle particularly significant. This landmark, situated just off Co Rd 10, serves as a primary cultural anchor in an otherwise sparsely populated agricultural region. The network of numbered routes, such as 70th St NW and 127th Ave NW, provides a detailed record of the access points to remote farmsteads and rural properties as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
