2014 Map of Northwood SE

About this map

The Goose River meanders sharply through the north-central portion of this rural landscape in Steele County, North Dakota. The river's deep, winding valley provides a stark contrast to the surrounding agricultural grid of Enger Township, where roads like 140th Ave NE and 8th St NE define the section lines. This 2014 survey captures a quiet interior of the Red River Valley upland, where local history is preserved in small family and community sites like Stavens Memorial Cem and Severson Cem. Smaller waterways such as Beaver Cr and the Middle Br Goose River drain the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. Aside from the scattered rural farmsteads, the Fugleberg Farm Airport represents one of the few specialized landmarks in this purely agrarian setting, illustrating the connection between modern aviation and the region's large-scale farming operations.
