2011 Map of Hankinson SE

About this map

Devils Nest anchors the western portion of this Richland County landscape, a terrain feature that stands out within the precise grid of the Red River Valley’s agricultural section lines. The map captures a transition in rural infrastructure where major local arteries like County Rd 1 and County Rd 15 intersect a dense network of numbered townships roads. This 2011 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects the persistent geometry of North Dakota's farming country, organized by routes such as 169th Ave SE and 97th St SE. The sparse distribution of named features underscores the vastness of the prairie environment, where the land is defined by its surveying intervals and the critical drainage and transportation corridors that support the region's agricultural economy.
