About this map

Antelope Creek meanders eastward across this section of Stark County, defining the drainage patterns of an open prairie landscape during the early 21st century. The terrain is organized by a precise grid of rural roads, including 119th Ave SW and 120th Ave SW, which facilitate movement between the sparsely distributed agricultural holdings of the region.

In the northern reaches, Ash Creek feeds into the local watershed near 46th St SW. This survey reflects the enduring section-line road system characteristic of North Dakota, where thoroughfares like 48th St SW and 51st St SW serve as the primary infrastructure for the area's farming and ranching economy. The map provides a clear look at the relationship between the natural hydrology and the human-imposed geometry of the Great Plains.
