2011 Map of Marshall SW

About this map

Deep Creek meanders through this portion of Stark County, defining the drainage patterns of an otherwise orderly agricultural landscape. The map reveals the rigid section-line organization of western North Dakota, where a geometric grid of gravel and section roads like 93rd Ave SW and 22nd St SW provide the primary framework for local travel. This systematic layout is typical of the Great Plains' settlement history, ensuring accessibility for the isolated farmsteads that dot the prairie. While primarily rural, the subtle elevation changes and the winding course of the creek create distinct deviations from the straight-line routes of 91st Ave SW and 25th St SW. The area's character is one of vast, productive open space, shaped by both the natural path of the water and the deliberate engineering of the county road system.
