About this map

The Sheyenne River meanders through this portion of the northern Great Plains, cutting a distinct valley through the prairie landscape where Benson Co, Eddy Co, and Wells Co converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and small wetlands, characteristic of the Drift Prairie region. These numerous water bodies are scattered across the township sections, creating a complex drainage pattern that feeds toward the river valley.

Section lines dictate the modern landscape, with gravel and local roads such as Co Rd 1, Co Rd 7, and 30th St Ne providing access to the agricultural interior. The map illustrates the persistent 19th-century rectangular survey system, showing how late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century infrastructure remains tied to the original grid of T150N and T151N. This layout highlights the enduring relationship between the region's hydrography and its rural development.
