2011 Map of Montpelier NW

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders across this rural section of LaMoure County, providing a natural break in the orderly grid of section lines. This landscape is defined by the agricultural geometry of southeastern North Dakota, where the intersection of US Route 281 and Highway 46 serves as a primary transit corridor. The map reveals the precise placement of gravel roads and section lines like 82nd Ave SE and 51 1/2 St SE, which have guided local farming and land ownership for generations. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the distribution of intermittent water features and farmstead access points, offering a clear view of the prairie's topography and drainage patterns before modern development or shifts in rural land use.
