2017 Map of Mineral Springs

About this map

Mineral Springs anchors this high-plains landscape where the headwaters of the Cedar Creek drainage system begin their eastward journey. The geography is defined by the winding paths of the N Fork Cedar Cr, S Fork Cedar Cr, and the main stem of Cedar Cr, which carve subtle drainage patterns across the prairie. The terrain rises to the northeast at the Bob Denny Hills, providing a distinct vertical contrast to the surrounding section lines and grazing lands. In a region where distances are vast and infrastructure is sparse, the presence of the Dilse Private Airstrip highlights the importance of aerial access for local land management and connectivity. This 2017 survey documents the enduring rural character of the North Dakota borderlands, showing a network of section roads like 80th St SW and 137th Ave SW that maintain the strict grid of the Public Land Survey System across the county line.
