About this map

Hillesland Lake lies in the southeast corner of this rural landscape in Nelson County, representing the characteristic pothole topography of the North Dakota plains. The map reveals a strictly regulated grid of section roads, where thoroughfares like 31st St NE and 24th St NE intersect with north-south routes such as 115th Ave NE and 120th Ave NE. This pattern illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern agricultural environment, where nearly every mile is delineated by a maintained road. The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and seasonal water bodies typical of the region, providing a detailed look at the local drainage and land use during the early twenty-first century.
