About this map

The Middle Branch Goose River and South Branch Goose River meander through this section of Sherbrooke Township in the early 21st century. This landscape in Steele County is defined by its agricultural grid, where long straight stretches of road like 139th Ave NE and 140th Ave NE intersect at regular intervals. The waterway system is augmented by the Primrose Drain, which cuts across the central part of the quadrangle to manage the local water table for farming operations.

Transportation throughout the area relies on a network of paved and improved routes, including County Hwy 11, County Hwy 8, and County Hwy 10. These roads delineate the section lines and connect the sparse rural homesteads that dot this region of eastern North Dakota. The relationship between the natural winding river branches and the rigid engineered drainage of the Primrose Drain illustrates the intensive land management characteristic of modern prairie agriculture.
