2018 Map of La Mars

About this map

The settlement of La Mars serves as the central point for this 2018 survey, situated at a cross-border juncture where the High Plains landscape meets the jurisdictional divide of North Dakota and South Dakota. This map captures a strictly gridded prairie environment, defined by its section lines and agricultural road network, including arterial routes like Co Rd 22 and Co Rd 81. To the north lies the border of Richland County, while the southern portion reveals the drainage patterns of Big Slough. The landscape is a study in early 21st-century rural organization, where the township and range system (T129N, T128N) dictates the placement of farmsteads and access roads across the fertile plains of Roberts County.
