2011 Map of Frederick NW

About this map

The Elm River meanders through the heart of this North Dakota and South Dakota borderland, widening significantly as it forms the expansive Elm Lake in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by the intricate drainage of Webber Gulch and a strict section-line grid of rural roads. This 2011 survey captures the area’s sparsely populated agricultural character, where long stretches of roads like 101st St SE and 375th Ave define the landscape. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights a region dedicated to large-scale prairie farming and the seasonal hydrology of the James River Valley watershed, providing a clear record of land use and water management at the state line.
