About this map

The James River meanders across this Eddy County landscape, shaping the development of local agriculture and settlement patterns. Near the western margin, the edge of New Rockford is visible, while the small community of Dundas sits further south along the riverbanks. The terrain is characterized by prairie wetlands and seasonal water features common to this part of North Dakota, including the low-lying Tiffany Flats and the prominent Schwoebel Slough.

A network of section-line roads, such as 16th St NE and 69th Ave NE, grids the countryside, providing access to the fertile fields between Rocky Run and the main river channel. This map captures the established rural infrastructure of the region, from the drainage of the sloughs to the local bypass at Co Rd 3, illustrating how the township-and-range system organized the land around these vital North Dakota waterways.
