2011 Map of Marshall NW

About this map

The Knife River meanders across this rural landscape in Dunn County, defining the drainage patterns for a series of prairie coulees and low-lying wetlands. The southern portion of the area is further marked by the confluence of Deep Creek, where the watercourse weaves through a network of section lines and gravel roads. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern agricultural grid of western North Dakota, dominated by numbered section roads like 12th St SW and 94th Ave SW. The map reveals the relationship between the natural hydrology of the river bottomlands and the strictly surveyed township and range system, providing a clear view of the area's topography before more recent land use changes. Local historians can trace the exact paths of access routes such as 91st Ave SW as they cross the winding river valley.
