About this map

Parshall serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of Mountrail County, organized around a geometric grid that stands in sharp contrast to the wandering paths of the local waterways. The community is anchored by local landmarks such as Hankins Field and the Parshall Cemetery, which lie on the southern outskirts of the developed town site. The surrounding landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Shell Creek and the East Fork Shell Creek, which meander through the prairie.

Transportation throughout the region relies on a systematic network of section-line roads, including McLean City Rd and numerous numbered routes like 40th St NW and 78th Ave NW. These roads facilitate movement across the agricultural expanse, connecting isolated farmsteads to the central settlement. The map provides a clear view of the intersection between the natural flow of the creeks and the human-imposed order of the North Dakota township system.
