2014 Map of Manitou

About this map

White Earth River carves a deep valley through the western edge of this Mountrail County landscape, creating a stark contrast to the higher, pothole-dotted plains to the east. The settlement of Manitou occupies a central position on the upland plateau, served by a network of rural routes including Cr-3111 and Cr-2. This 2014 survey documents the area's agricultural character, defined by a strict section-line road grid—such as 64th St NW and 95th Ave NW—that persists despite the significant topographical relief created by the river's drainage basin. The map illustrates how local transportation and settlement patterns are dictated by the land's transition from flat prairie to the eroded breaks of the river valley.
