About this map

The section lines of Cavalier County define this high-plains landscape just south of the international border. This area is characterized by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, where agricultural access routes like 90th Ave Ne and 100th St Ne segment the territory into precise square-mile blocks. The terrain is marked by numerous small, seasonal prairie potholes and depressions scattered across the fields, a classic post-glacial prairie feature typical of north-central North Dakota.

Infrastructure is strictly tied to the township and range system, with Lake Rd and a network of numbered avenues providing the primary corridors for rural transit. The mapping reveals a sparse, non-nucleated settlement pattern where farmsteads are positioned relative to the road grid, such as along 91st Ave Ne and 99th St Ne. This layout emphasizes the dominance of large-scale farming and the systematic division of land in this northern frontier region.
