About this map

Goose River and Goose Creek wind through this prairie landscape in Grand Forks County, defining the drainage patterns of an area dominated by a rigid section-line road grid. The map reveals a late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure where small kettle lakes like Rugh Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Hillesland Lake break the regularity of the agricultural plots.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Union Cemetery in the northwestern corner, serving as a primary cultural landmark for the surrounding farming community. The inclusion of the Gehrke Private Strip reflects the importance of private aviation in managing these expansive North Dakota holdings. The road network, including County Hwy 9 and County Rd 10, illustrates the modern connectivity of this sparsely populated township.
