2011 Map of Epworth SE

About this map

Shell Creek meanders through the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape in Mountrail County, serving as the primary natural drainage in an otherwise highly structured section-line grid. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated rural territory dominated by large-scale farming and the township-range system. The map is defined by a dense network of gravel and local roads, including 71st Ave NW and 41st St NW, which facilitate movement across the open plains. Small depressions and seasonal wetlands are scattered between the road intervals, particularly along 48th St NW, reflecting the prairie pothole geography typical of this region of North Dakota. For researchers and genealogists, the map provides a precise layout of modern land divisions and access routes within the Epworth SE quadrangle.
