2014 Map of Mott NW

About this map

The Cannonball River winds through the southern portion of this Hettinger County landscape, establishing the primary drainage for a region defined by its wide, open drainages and subtle topographic shifts. This 2014 survey captures a rural North Dakota environment where the land is strictly organized by a regular grid of section-line roads, including 94th Ave SW and 71st St SW. To the east, the Zich Hills provide a more varied relief compared to the surrounding prairie, rising above the valleys carved by Spring Cr and Dayton Cr. The presence of small water bodies like Charles Lake and the feeder stream Chilton Cr emphasizes the importance of hydrology in this high-plains agricultural setting, where the intersection of water and the road network dictates the local geography.
