2024 Map of Moffit SW

About this map

Rattlesnake Butte and the winding course of Devils Gulch dominate the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the prairie topography of Emmons County is deeply etched by intermittent drainage systems. The map captures a largely rural expanse defined by a geometric grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 58th St SW and 2nd Ave SW. Significant water features include the headwaters of Glencoe Creek and the meandering Badger Creek, which bisects the southern townships. A notable point of human activity in this sparsely populated region is Snyders Airport, located just north of the border between Township 136 North Range 78 West and Township 135 North Range 78 West. This survey highlights the intersection of modern aviation and traditional section-line agriculture in the North Dakota interior.
