About this map

Foster County farmland in North Dakota is defined by a rigorous section-line grid of rural roads and scattered prairie potholes. The landscape reflects the orderly settlement patterns of the American Midwest, where the township and range system dictated the placement of travel routes like 85th Ave Ne and 90th Ave Ne. This survey captures the rural infrastructure at a time when traditional agriculture remained the primary use of the land, showing the intersection of local routes such as 1st St Ne and 2nd St Ne. The abundance of small, seasonal water bodies across the terrain suggests a drainage pattern characteristic of the glaciated plains, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of this specific quadrangle between the northern and southern extensions of the county roads.
