2014 Map of Northgate

About this map

The border town of Northgate sits at the intersection of international diplomacy and the rural high plains of North Dakota. Situated in Burke County along the boundary with Saskatchewan, Canada, the area is defined by a strictly surveyed grid of county roads and section lines. Notable local routes like Cr-2 and 71st Ave NW facilitate travel across this agricultural landscape. The most prominent natural feature is the winding path of Stony Creek, which cuts through the prairie southeast of the main settlement. This topographic study reveals the sparse but methodical arrangement of a borderland community, where the land is organized into 100-foot contour intervals that trace the subtle drainage patterns feeding into the creek system.
