About this map

The international border with Canada defines the northern reaches of this Cavalier County landscape, where the prairie hydrology is marked by meandering watercourses and glacial depressions. The Little Pembina River flows through the northeastern corner, while the wandering path of Mowbray Cr cuts across the southwest. In this section of North Dakota, the transition from agricultural land to the riparian zones of Dead Ox Cr and smaller water bodies like Jackson Lake and Horseshoe Pond illustrates the subtle drainage patterns characteristic of the Red River Valley hinterlands. The map provides a clear look at the sparsely settled borderlands during the early 21st century, focusing on the natural features that have dictated local land use and boundaries for generations.
