2011 Map of Lisbon SW

About this map

Dead Colt Creek meanders through this portion of Sargent County, defining the drainage patterns of an agricultural landscape just south of Lisbon. The terrain is characterized by the Whitestone Hills, which rise in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a highly organized section-line road network, including 128th Ave SE and 131st Ave SE, which partition the land into the precise grids typical of the Great Plains. These corridors, such as 77th St SE, reveal the enduring structure of rural North Dakota settlement and land management. The map serves as a primary source for understanding the modern hydrology and topographical features that have influenced farming and local transit in the Gwinner area for generations.
