2011 Map of Jud NW

About this map

Buffalo Creek meanders through this portion of LaMoure County, defining the drainage patterns across a landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System. The map shows a strictly gridded network of rural routes, including 70th Ave SE and 50th St SE, which divide the terrain into mile-square sections typical of North Dakota's agricultural heartland. In the southeastern corner, Cottontail Creek emerges, flowing past the junction of County Rd 66 and County Rd 65. This 2011 survey reveals the enduring character of the prairie, where small ephemeral water bodies and wetlands are scattered between the surveyed section lines, illustrating how the natural topography of the glacial till plain persists within the rigid human geometry of the township and range system.
