Northwood and the smaller settlement of Kempton anchor this 2014 survey of the Grand Forks County prairie. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like 10th Ave NE and 34th St NE marking section lines across the agricultural expanse. Water features are relatively sparse, though the meandering course of Hazen Brook cuts through the northern sections while the Little Goose River flows near the southwestern corner. The presence of Railroad St NE in Kempton points to the historical importance of the rail corridor in shaping these rural North Dakota communities. This map serves as a clear record of modern property boundaries and local infrastructure in a region where the traditional township-and-range layout continues to dictate the patterns of daily life and transportation.
