About this map

The North Branch Elm River winds across this section of Traill County, showing the classic meandering drainage patterns characteristic of the Red River Valley. This agricultural landscape is defined by the confluence and steady eastern flow of the Elm River, which dictates the surrounding road network and land use. The map provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure in the early 21st century, anchored by the primary east-west corridors of County Hwy-3 and County Hwy-1. These arterial roads bisect the flat, fertile terrain, illustrating the grid-based development typical of North Dakota's prairie regions. The survey is a precise record of the physical geography of the river valley before further modernization or shifts in local water management occurred.
