About this map

The Sheyenne River meanders sharply across this portion of Nelson County, defining a landscape of high plains drainage and prairie agriculture. Flowing from the northwest, the river meets the McVille Coulee in a series of tight oxbows that characterize the local topography. This early 21st-century survey documents a highly organized section-line road network, including County Rd-22 and County Rd-20, which segment the terrain into precise agricultural blocks. A notable point of interest for local historians is the New Luther Valley Cemetery, situated near the river's bend in the northeastern quadrant. Water management in this semi-arid region is represented by the Galde Dam, which controls local runoff. The map's grid-like infrastructure of numbered avenues and streets illustrates the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in North Dakota's rural development.
