2014 Map of Max NE

About this map

Glacial pothole topography and a strictly ordered section-line road grid define this portion of Ward County in the mid-2010s. The landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of small depressions and seasonal wetlands typical of the Missouri Coteau region. Us-83 serves as the primary north-south artery, intersecting with ND-23 in the northern part of the quadrangle. Local history is anchored by the presence of Township Cem, located along the highway, which stands as a quiet marker of the rural community's heritage. In the northeast corner, Nelson Lake provides a rare larger water feature amidst the thousands of smaller prairie potholes. The survey meticulously details the extensive network of local roads, such as 233rd Ave SW and 345th Ave SE, reflecting the persistent 19th-century land division patterns that still govern the modern agricultural landscape.
