2011 Map of Mount Carmel

About this map

Mount Carmel serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Cavalier County, where the section-line road network characteristic of the Great Plains is punctuated by vital water sources. The meandering path of the Little South Pembina River cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, while Mowbray Creek flows in the northwest, providing natural drainage for the surrounding farmlands. This 2011 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey captures the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, documented through a grid of local routes such as Dresden Rd and County Hwy-55. The map reflects the enduring township-and-range layout of North Dakota, where small-scale drainage basins and seasonal wetlands are preserved between the expansive fields and gravel roads that define the region's geographic character.
