2014 Map of Hope SE

About this map

The South Branch Goose River meanders across this rural landscape in southeastern Steele County, reflecting the glacial hydrology of the Red River Valley region. This map shows a precision-engineered grid of section-line roads, including 3rd St SE and 140th Ave SE, which define the agricultural character of the territory. The topography is dominated by numerous small wetlands and depressions typical of the prairie pothole region, particularly surrounding the upper reaches of the S Br Goose River. To the southeast, the Elm River drains toward the Red River of the North, marking a subtle divide in the local drainage patterns. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural watercourses before modern developments altered the local drainage basins.
