2011 Map of Hillsboro NW

About this map

The meandering course of the Goose River and its tributary, the North Branch Goose River, dominates this section of the Red River Valley in eastern North Dakota. The landscape reflects a deeply ingrained agricultural pattern, where section-line roads and drainage infrastructure like Norway Drain Number 38 manage the prairie's water table. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies two significant sites: Arnegard Cemetery in the southeast and Carlson Cemetery at the northern boundary. Transportation is defined by a grid of rural routes, including County Hwy-10 and County Hwy-11, which connect the scattered farmsteads across this fertile plain. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes the headwaters of the North Branch Elm River, showing the subtle drainage divide characteristic of Traill County's flat terrain.
