2020 Map of Hootowl Creek SW

About this map

High plains drainage patterns define the topography of Golden Valley County in this 2020 study of the Hootowl Creek SW quadrangle. The landscape is carved by seasonal waterways including the eastward-flowing Elk Cr and the centrally located Dry Cr, which cuts through the northern townships. In the southwest corner, the headwaters of Little Beaver Cr mark a shift in the local watershed. This area is organized by a precise grid of rural roads such as 24th St SW and north-south corridors like Co Rd 5, reflecting the enduring section-line settlement pattern of North Dakota's ranching and agricultural interior. Local family and place-name landmarks like Mosher Rd and Bonnie View Rd provide specific reference points for property researchers and genealogists tracing land use in the T141N and T142N townships.
