2020 Map of Hansboro NE

About this map

Hansboro sits near the northern edge of this high-plains landscape in Towner County, just south of the international boundary with Canada. The terrain is defined by the unique prairie pothole hydrology of the region, featuring numerous small, unnamed wetlands and depressions that characterize the North Dakota glacial till. Larger water features such as Moore Lake and the winding Hidden Island Coulee break the geometric precision of the township and range grid. The survey details a network of section-line roads, including 61st Ave NE and 106th St NE, which facilitate movement through this agricultural area. To the southeast, the headwaters or drainage of Mauvais Coulee begin to take shape, illustrating the subtle drainage patterns that move water across this seemingly level horizon.
