About this map

Dry Coulee winds through the southeastern portion of this prairie landscape where the borders of Stutsman, Barnes, and LaMoure counties meet. This section of the North Dakota plains is defined by a dense concentration of small glacial depressions and wetlands, scattered across a grid of section-line roads like 46th St SE and 99th Ave SE. The intersection of county lines at the southern edge highlights a triple-border point, providing a clear view of the rural civil boundaries as they existed in the early 21st century. Apart from the local thoroughfare Cr-38, the terrain is largely undeveloped, preserving the original agricultural layout and natural drainage patterns of the region.
