2020 Map of Moselle

About this map

The meandering Wild Rice River dominates this portion of Richland County, creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbows across the plains. Near the center of the sheet, the small settlement of Moselle sits at the junction of the section-line roads that define the rural grid. This 2020 map documents the persistent agricultural landscape of Belford Township, where the drainages of Elk Creek and S Br Antelope Cr cut through the steady rise of the land. Local history is anchored by the Nulph Cem and the Goerger Airport, representing the essential transportation and community landmarks of this prairie region. The intricate hydrography shown here highlights how water management and natural flow patterns continue to shape the land use and farmstead placement in southeastern North Dakota.
