About this map

Wirch stands as a focal point in this portion of Dickey County, where the agricultural landscape of the Great Plains is defined by a high concentration of prairie potholes and small wetlands. The settlement is anchored by local heritage sites, including the Wirch Cem and the Spring Valley Cem to the northeast. The terrain is characterized by numerous water bodies that vary from the larger Wood Lake and Crow Lake to the scattered Crab Tree Lakes and the drainage of Webber Gulch. A precise grid of section-line roads, such as 96th St SE and 69th Ave SE, facilitates movement through this rural township structure. This survey documents the intersection of several townships, including t130n r66w and t129n r66w, capturing the persistent pattern of North Dakota's rural land division.
