About this map

Glacial potholes and small wetlands dominate this section of Towner County, where the agricultural grid is etched into a landscape of prairie depressions. Two small cemeteries, the Finnish Cem and Mount View Cem, serve as quiet markers of the homesteading families who settled these northern plains. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes that direct the flow toward Big Coulee in the southeast corner. Transportation is defined by a strictly rectilinear network of section-line roads, including Picton Rd and 56th Ave NE, which navigate around the numerous unnamed sloughs and seasonal water bodies typical of the Prairie Pothole Region.
