2017 Map of Mount Carmel

About this map

The small settlement of Mount Carmel sits in the northeastern corner of this Cavalier County landscape, positioned within a high-plains region defined by a distinct network of glacial wetlands and prairie potholes. The hydrology is dominated by the winding course of the Little Pembina River in the southeast, while Mulberry Creek and Mowbray Cr drain the western reaches. This area reflects a rigid Public Land Survey System organization, where nearly every section line is traced by gravel and local roads such as Maida Rd, Dresden Rd, and Co Rd 23. This grid-like development patterns the agricultural expansion of North Dakota, showing how transportation and drainage systems were adapted to the undulating terrain of the Red River Valley hinterlands.
