About this map

Agricultural landscape and prairie wetlands dominate this portion of Cass County, where the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System is etched into the terrain. The township boundaries of t142n r55w, t142n r54w, t141n r55w, and t141n r54w converge here, creating a patchwork of section lines that dictate the placement of rural roads. These gravel routes, such as 138th Ave SE and 24th St SE, navigate around a dense network of small depressions and seasonal water bodies typical of the Red River Valley's periphery. The most notable landmark is the Wilcox Farm Airport, a private airstrip that highlights the region's reliance on aviation for large-scale farming operations and crop management. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where the original 19th-century grid remains the primary organizing force for human activity and transportation.
