2014 Map of Judson

About this map

The small settlement of Judson serves as a central landmark in this portion of Morton County, situated amidst the high plains where agriculture and transportation intersect. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage of Sweetbriar Cr, which flows toward the northeast into Sweet Briar Lake. This reservoir and its accompanying Sweet Briar Lake Trl mark a primary point of interest in an area otherwise dominated by a rigid grid of section-line roads such as 39th Ave and 40th St. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions toward the drainage of Fish Cr, illustrating the subtle topographic divides that characterize the North Dakota prairie. The map provides a clear record of the modern rural infrastructure, including the placement of high-speed transit corridors and local access roads that connect the dispersed ranching and farming operations surrounding the Judson community.
