2014 Map of Northwood NW

About this map

Spring Cr meanders across the rural landscape of the Grand Forks and Steele County line, defining a region of agricultural plots and small prairie wetlands. This 2014 survey captures a quiet interior of North Dakota where family and congregational history is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including Bethania Cem, Hertlickson Cem, and Hanson Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Lake Tobiason and the headwaters of Beaver Cr, which drain the low-lying basins common to this part of the Red River Valley hinterland. The landscape is organized by a precise grid of gravel section roads like Eagle Ave NE and Lind Ave NE, reflecting the enduring township-and-range settlement pattern that has dictated the area's geography since the late 19th century.
