About this map

The Little Heart River meanders through this agricultural landscape in Morton County, providing the primary natural drainage for a region structured by a rigid section-line road grid. Mapping from this era shows a quiet rural territory where large-scale farming and ranching are supported by a network of local routes, including County Rd 138 and County Rd 83. The land is defined by open drainage patterns and a sparsely populated layout characteristic of the North Dakota plains, with long thoroughfares such as 48th St and 51st St marking the vast distances between homesteads. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey utilizes data from the National Hydrography Dataset to document the precise winding path of the river as it cuts through the prairie.
