About this map

The James River meanders through a landscape defined by North Dakota's section-line grid, creating a striking visual contrast between the winding waterway and the rigid agricultural layout. In the heart of this rural expanse sits Independence, located near the junction of 73rd St SE and 107th Ave SE. The terrain is characterized by numerous small wetlands and basins that dot the prairie between the rectilinear paths of roads like 74th St SE and 77th St SE.

The southern portion of the survey captures the border where LaMoure Co Dickey Co meet, marking a shift in regional administration. This modern data, synthesized from sources including the National Hydrography Dataset and U.S. Census Bureau, provides a clear view of the contemporary rural infrastructure. For those interested in local geography, the map traces the precise routes of local connectors from 72nd St SE down to 80th St SE.
