About this map

Petersburg sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in northeastern North Dakota, where the town grid is defined by 1st Ave and 3rd Ave. The terrain is shaped by the winding course of the N Br Turtle River, which meanders through the central and eastern sections of the quadrangle. In the northeast corner, the drainage of Skunk Coulee carves through the prairie, illustrating the subtle but essential water systems of the Red River Valley hinterlands. A strictly rectilinear network of section-line roads, such as 41st ST Ne and 123rd Ave Ne, overlays the land, highlighting the systematic division of the Great Plains. Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant for local history, notably Saint Andrews Cem located near the eastern border toward Niagara. This map captures the intersection of Nelson and Grand Forks counties, documenting the modern rural infrastructure and farmstead patterns of the region.
