About this map

Shell Creek meanders through the heart of this North Dakota landscape, carving through the dissected terrain of southeastern Mountrail County. This modern survey illustrates the rigid Public Land Survey System (PLSS) framework, where a grid of section lines is followed by gravel roads like 49th St NW and 71st Ave NW. The map reveals a high-plains topography defined by countless small wetlands and seasonal basins scattered across the prairie. It captures the rural character of the region within the townships of t154n r89w and t153n r88w, where the network of numbered routes such as 41st St NW and 62nd Ave NW provides access to isolated agricultural sections. The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the enduring nature of large-scale farming and ranching in this portion of the state.
