2020 Map of Oakes SE

About this map

Ludden stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Dickey County, situated along the southwestern edge of the survey area. The landscape is characterized by the meandering path of the James River, which cuts through the northwestern sections, surrounded by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and small basins. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of agricultural development, defined by numbered township boundaries including t131n r59w and t130n r59w. This rectilinear road system, featuring routes like Co Rd 14 B and 97th St SE, highlights the intensive section-line planning typical of the North Dakota plains. The interface between the river valley and the surrounding prairie sections provides a clear view of how drainage patterns influenced local road placement and field boundaries in the late twentieth century.
