About this map

Rising sits at the heart of this McHenry County landscape, a central point in a highly organized agricultural grid defined by numbered avenues and streets. The geography is subtly marked by the winding course of Egg Creek, which meanders across the northern half of the survey, and South Egg Creek to the south. These seasonal waterways provide the only break in the rectilinear pattern of the North Dakota prairie, suggesting a landscape where land use is dictated by the precise section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
