About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders sharply through the northern half of this landscape, its tight oxbows defining the local drainage system near the border of North Dakota's eastern plains. In the northeast corner, Elk Creek flows through the area, with the Elk Creek Cemetery situated nearby as a significant local genealogical marker. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the waters of Kreiser Lake, a distinctive feature in this otherwise grid-patterned agricultural region.

Transport is dictated by a rigid network of section roads, including County Rd 16 and County Rd 17, which facilitate movement between the vast farm plots. The inclusion of the Tesch Strip landing area emphasizes the role of private aviation in managing these expansive rural tracts during the early 21st century. This survey provides a clear view of the hydrological and man-made boundaries that define this part of Richland County.
