About this map

Big Coulee defines the drainage pattern of this Towner County landscape, winding northwest to southeast through a grid of section roads and rural intersections. The land use is dominated by a strict section-line transportation network, including major thoroughfares like Us-281 and ND-5 that cross the northern part of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Finnish Cem and Mt View Cem provides specific points of interest tied to the early settlement and community heritage of this prairie region. These landmarks, along with a series of numbered avenues and streets such as 56th Ave NE and 97th St NE, illustrate the transition between organized agricultural surveying and the natural watercourses that still dictate the area's geography.
