2011 Map of Moffit NW

About this map

Black Leg Ranch and the small settlement of Brittin occupy this portion of the North Dakota prairie, characterized by its systematic section line road network. This landscape in Buchanan Valley Township is largely defined by agriculture and the passage of Glencoe Creek through the southern sections. The survey records a rural grid of secondary roads like Moffit Rd and 249th St SE that facilitate movement between isolated homesteads and ranching operations. Numerous small, ephemeral wetlands and ponds are scattered across the northern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the typical prairie pothole topography of the region. These natural features, alongside arterial routes like 154th Ave SE, provide a look at the modern rural infrastructure used by local families and landowners in the early twenty-first century.
