2017 Map of Otter Tail Creek

About this map

Otter Tail Creek defines the northern reaches of this Williams County landscape, where the drainage patterns of the northern Great Plains are clearly visible through a network of coulees and seasonal waterways. The map illustrates a disciplined grid of rural infrastructure, where routes like Co Hwy 8 and Co Hwy 7 intersect with a dense network of section line roads including 66th St NW and 137th Ave NW. This area is characterized by its agricultural geometry and the branching paths of Cow Creek and Camp Creek, which break the rectilinear surveyor's grid. For researchers, the map provides a precise look at the land divisions within townships such as t156n r101w, documenting the modern rural landscape before recent shifts in regional land use.
