2014 Map of Lucca

About this map

Lucca sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in southeastern North Dakota, where the section-line road grid dominates the terrain. This 2014 survey captures a rural environment defined by the meandering course of the Maple River, which carves a distinct valley through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The intersection of CR-38 and 130th Ave SE marks the center of the local transport network, connecting the scattered homesteads of the prairie. The presence of small aviation facilities like Lindemann Airport and Sky Haven Airport reflects the practical necessities of travel and crop management in this wide-open region. Spanning the borders where Barnes, Cass, and Ransom counties meet, the map illustrates the enduring spatial organization of the northern plains, characterized by its orderly townships and the persistence of small rural hubs.
