2018 Map of Nygren Dam

About this map

Nygren Dam and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Morton County define this portion of the northern plains. The terrain is characterized by the meandering path of the Heart River in the northwest and the prominent Oak Coulee Ridge rising in the northeast. This 2018 survey illustrates a well-defined sectional grid system, with rural corridors like Co Rd 136 and 33rd Ave facilitating movement between scattered farmsteads. Water management and drainage are central to the landscape, as evidenced by the namesake dam and the flow of Chanta Peta Cr through the eastern sections. The map reveals the meticulous organization of rural North Dakota, where secondary routes such as Lake Patricia Rd and Co Rd 135 connect remote properties to the broader county infrastructure.
