About this map

The Heart River meanders sharply through this rural landscape along the boundary of Morton and Grant counties. This 2014 survey depicts a region characterized by deep drainages and tributary systems, including the namesake Otter Cr to the south and Beaver Cr to the north. Distinctive landforms such as Pony Coulee and Bridge Coulee break the upland plains, illustrating the erosive power of the watercourses that have carved the terrain over millennia.

Transportation is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid, largely composed of unpaved avenues and streets such as 60th St SW and 43rd Ave SW. The presence of Cr-84 provides the primary north-south corridor through the center of the sheet, connecting the isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots that dominate the local economy. For researchers, this map preserves the precise layout of rural North Dakota infrastructure in the early twenty-first century.
