2011 Map of LaMoure SW

About this map

Cottonwood Lake and its surrounding wetlands define the landscape of this Dickey County prairie region, where the hydrology of the Great Plains is captured in detail. The map shows a strictly organized section-line road grid, including County Rd 62 and 72nd St SE, which facilitates the region's agricultural industry. This reliance on large-scale farming is evidenced by specialized private infrastructure like the Leiseth Farms Landing Strip and the Larson Landing Strip. Smaller ephemeral water features and the winding course of Cottonwood Creek punctuate the rectilinear fields, illustrating the persistent influence of natural drainage on North Dakota's managed agricultural lands in the early twenty-first century.
