About this map

The agricultural landscape of the North Dakota plains is defined here by the winding course of Cottonwood Creek and its South Branch. In the early 1980s, the rural character of this region was centered around organized communal living and small-scale infrastructure, notably the Hutterite Colony located in the northeast. This settlement, accompanied by its own Sewage Disposal Pond, illustrates the self-contained nature of these communities within the larger prairie grid.

Evidence of local aviation and essential rural services appear via the Larson Landing Strip and the Emmanuel Cem nearby. The terrain is relatively flat, punctuated by Cottonwood Lake and several industrial Gravel Pits. The map also traces the jurisdictional line between La Moure and Dickey counties, providing a clear record of property and political boundaries during this era of Midwestern farming.
