About this map

Ukrainian heritage and the high plains water system define this area of Dunn County. The landscape is notably anchored by the Saint Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Cem and the Saint Demetrius Cem, reflecting the specific immigrant history of this portion of North Dakota. These sites are located near the headwaters of the Green River, which meanders eastward through the southern half of the township.

Drainage patterns across the quadrangle show a divide between several vital watercourses, including Horse Cr, Spring Cr, and Indian Cr. The land is organized by a strict grid of section roads like 24th St SW and 124th Ave SW, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the rural North Dakota prairie. The boundary between Billings Co and Dunn Co runs vertically through the eastern portion of the map, marking a political division across the otherwise continuous terrain.
