2020 Map of Landa SW

About this map

The Souris River meanders through the eastern portion of this Bottineau County landscape, creating a wide riparian corridor of wetlands and oxbows within the northern plains. This 2020 survey illustrates the characteristic section-line road network of North Dakota, where routes like 100th St NW and Co Rd 27B provide access to the vast agricultural plots. The confluence of Boundary Creek with the larger river system highlights the essential drainage patterns of this prairie region. Located near the international border, the area is defined by its rectilinear grid and the life-giving presence of the river, which breaks the geometric regularity of the surveyed townships. Genealogists and local historians can use the precise grid coordinates, such as 13th Ave NW, to locate specific family farmsteads and historic land patents across the T162N and T161N townships.
