The prairie landscape of Nelson County is defined here by the east-west corridor of Us-2, which connects the agricultural settlements of Michigan and Petersburg. This 2014 survey captures the precise grid of section roads and avenues, such as Co Road 11 and 121st Ave NE, that organize the North Dakota plains. The map provides essential detail for local historians, identifying the Michigan Cem south of the town center and the intermittent hydrology of the region, including Lake Miller and numerous unnamed prairie potholes. The junction of Nd-35 and Us-2 serves as the primary transit hub for this rural district, while the interior is crisscrossed by a network of numbered streets and avenues that reflect the enduring township and range surveying system.
