2014 Map of Hatton SW

About this map

Portland sits at the southeastern edge of this landscape, where the prairie is defined by the winding course of the Goose River and its multiple branches. The map traces the convergence of the N Br Goose River, Middle Br Goose River, and S Br Goose River, creating a complex drainage pattern that cuts through the surrounding agricultural grid. This network of waterways dictated the early placement of roads and farmsteads in the region. Along the Steele Co Traill Co border, the terrain remains primarily structured by section lines, with Aurdal Cem serving as a significant local landmark for genealogical research. The layout reflects a contemporary look at the rural infrastructure of eastern North Dakota, from established township roads like 14th St NE to the smaller avenues serving the farming community.
