The county line between Stark Co and Morton Co divides this high plains landscape, defined by the winding drainages of Heart Butte Cr and Beaver Cr. The terrain is marked by a rigorous section-line road grid, including 79th Ave NW and 40th St, which speaks to the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on North Dakota's agricultural development. This survey reveals how contemporary infrastructure like 38th St SW follows the same pathways established by early settlers, maintaining the geometric order of the prairie even as modern mapping technologies document the shifting course of local creek beds. Researchers will find a clear record of land division and the sparse but deliberate network of rural routes that sustain this expansive ranching and farming region.
