2024 Map of Hankinson SE

About this map

Hankinson anchors the western edge of this prairie landscape in Richland County, where the agricultural grid of southeastern North Dakota is defined by a precise network of section lines. The map reveals the intersection of major north-south transport corridors with local rural routes like Co Rd 15 and 93rd St SE. This survey reflects a modern view of the plains, showing the persistent 19th-century land divisions of t130n r49w and t131n r49w alongside 21st-century infrastructure. Small wetlands and depressions are scattered across the terrain, indicating the glacial heritage of the Red River Valley region. These features, often bypassed by the straight runs of 171st Ave SE and other county roads, provide a glimpse into the natural drainage patterns that shaped local farm placement and historical land use.
