About this map

The James River snakes diagonally across this North Dakota landscape, carving a subtle path through the agricultural grid of Wells County. In this part of the state, the land is meticulously partitioned by a network of rural roads including 23rd St NE and 34th Ave NE, which reflect the long-standing rectangular survey system. The topography is dotted with prairie potholes and small basins, most notably Egg Lake in the northwest corner. These water features are characteristic of the glaciated plains, providing essential drainage and habitat within a region dominated by large-scale farming. Transportation across the territory is anchored by County Rd-2 and County Hwy-4216, which connect the scattered farmsteads and facilitate the movement of goods in a quiet corner of the Great Plains.
