2017 Map of Kuroki

About this map

Kuroki sits at the heart of this North Dakota borderland, a landscape defined by its proximity to the United States of America / Canada boundary line. This 2017 survey reveals the highly organized township and range system that dictates the movement of travel through a network of cardinal-direction routes like 109th St NW and 22nd Ave NW. The presence of Oil Well Rd south of the central settlement hints at the local energy economy within Bottineau County. The terrain is characterized by numerous small, scattered wetlands and depressions typical of this northern prairie region, contrasting with the rigid grid of the section lines. This document captures the intersection of international borders and rural life in the American Great Plains.
