About this map

Little Heart River and its various tributaries define the hydrology of this Morton County landscape, where the prairie is carved by a dendritic drainage network. The North Branch Little Heart River and the South Branch Little Heart River converge here, creating a complex series of draws and ridges characteristic of the Missouri Plateau. The settlement of Lynwood sits central to this network, positioned near the intersection of several local routes.

Transport in this rural North Dakota region is dictated by a strict section-line grid, represented by roads such as 48th St and 24th Ave. More significant thoroughfares like County Rd 137 and County Rd 87 provide the primary connectivity across the county. This 2011 survey documents the topography before significant modern changes, preserving the spatial relationship between the dispersed homesteads and the river branches that sustained them.
