About this map

The Souris River carves a significant wetland corridor through the prairie of Bottineau County, where the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern half of the landscape. This protected riverine environment preserves a complex network of marshes and open water, contrasting sharply with the rigid section-line road system that organizes the surrounding agricultural uplands. The terrain is marked by subtle elevation changes along the river valley, with Boundary Creek entering from the east near the northern bend of the refuge. A strictly rural grid of gravel routes, including 97th St NW and Co Rd 27B, facilitates movement through the grain fields and pasturelands that characterize this border region of North Dakota.
