2017 Map of Marlow

About this map

Marlow sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the high plains of the Coteau des Prairies begin to transition into the glacial till of the surrounding lowlands. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns and small depressions characteristic of the region, visible in the north through White Lake and the marshy Quant Slough. The landscape is defined by the straight-line geography of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, where section lines are traced by gravel roads like Co Rd 5 and Co Hwy 2. The boundary between North Dakota and South Dakota bisects the sheet, separating Sargent Co and Marshall Co. This map captures a rural interior focused on agriculture and land management, where local landmarks like Marlow Ln provide the primary navigational markers in an otherwise sparsely populated prairie environment.
