2011 Map of Moffit SE

About this map

Dutton Slough dominates the northern landscape of this Buchanan Valley Township region, where an intricate network of section-line roads defines the agrarian layout of Emmons County. The terrain is shaped by the subtle drainage patterns of Hawk Creek and Badger Creek, which meander through the prairie landscape before reaching larger water bodies like Long Lake Creek in the northeast. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like 55th St SE and 3rd Ave SE following the rigid geometry of township and range lines. The map reveals the characteristic wet-dry cycle of the North Dakota plains, where seasonal sloughs and creek beds serve as critical landmarks for local land management and hydrology.
