2014 Map of Palermo NE

About this map

Berg Coulee cuts through the northeast corner of this landscape in Mountrail County, characterizing a region defined by its numerous small depressions and prairie potholes. This 2014 survey reveals a strictly organized rural grid system, where section lines are marked by gravel roads such as 74th St NW and 66th Ave NW. The terrain is shaped by glacial activity, resulting in the dense network of un-drained basins typical of the Missouri Coteau. This specific mapping provides a precise record of the land surface and drainage patterns before potential changes in local agricultural or energy development in the Bakken region. Without major settlements or industrial centers, the map documents the quiet, persistent geometry of the High Plains, where human presence is primarily indicated by the intersection of thoroughfares like 71st St NW and 62nd Ave NW.
