About this map

Beaver Creek and its tributary Beaver Cr wind through the northern sections of this prairie landscape, defining the local hydrology of southeastern North Dakota. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands that lie between the section-line roads, such as 54th St SE and 87th Ave SE. This survey reflects the enduring grid-based agricultural layout of the region, where the county line between Stutsman Co and LaMoure Co runs along the southern edge of the map. Modern aviation infrastructure is represented by the Liechty Farm Airport in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of private airfields in maintaining connectivity across the expansive farmland of the Great Plains.
