About this map

Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the waters of Lake Darling meet the preserved prairies of Renville County. This modern survey illustrates a region defined by its conservation areas and precise section-line road network, including the Renville County Waterfowl Production Area. The terrain is marked by the winding path of Mackobee Coulee, which cuts through the central sections and influences the local drainage patterns. Significant for its depiction of the Public Land Survey System, the map clearly delineates township boundaries such as t159n r86w and t159n r85w, providing a detailed look at the rural organization of North Dakota's agricultural heartland. The layout of rural routes like Co RD 26 and numerous numbered section roads demonstrates the enduring grid-based infrastructure of the northern plains.
