Alsen serves as the primary settlement on this northern prairie landscape, situated in the northeast corner of a high-plains region defined by its glacial pothole drainage. The terrain is notably marked by the Starkweather Coulee, which meanders across the northern and southern sections of the survey area, indicating the natural water flow through this agricultural heartland. The map documents the boundary between Cavalier County and Ramsey County, specifically along 78th St NE, providing a clear record of jurisdictional lines amidst the section-line road grid. This rectilinear network, including routes like 83rd Ave NE and 87th Ave NE, illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on North Dakota's rural development and land use patterns.
