About this map

The county line between Stutsman Co and Lamoure Co bisects this section of the North Dakota prairie, revealing a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology and rectilinear section-line road network. Meandering drainage systems like Buffalo Cr and Cottontail Cr cut across the high plains, providing natural relief to the systematic grid of rural routes including 46th St SE and 73rd Ave SE. This survey reflects the enduring structure of the Great Plains township system, where the environment is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands that dot the agricultural parcels between the gravel roads. The map captures a moment of modern topographic recording, documenting the precise elevation contours and water bodies that dictate the farming and drainage patterns of this rural region.
