2011 Map of Hirschville

About this map

Hirschville serves as the central point of this Dunn County landscape, situated where the geometric precision of the Great Plains grid meets the wandering path of Deep Creek. The map documents a sparsely settled agricultural region defined by an extensive network of section-line roads, including 24th St Sw and 98th Ave Sw. This 2011 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates the persistence of the original land survey system in North Dakota, where nearly every square mile is accessible by a numbered thoroughfare. The drainage of Deep Creek provides the only significant break in the rolling upland topography, carving a natural corridor through the structured farm blocks and creating a distinct contrast between the organic waterway and the rigid human-made boundaries.
