2011 Map of Parshall SW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea defines the southwestern corner of this landscape, its indented shoreline reaching into the prairie drainages. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a meticulously organized section-line road network, where corridors like 76th Ave NW and 25th St NW segment the high plains of North Dakota. The area is largely defined by this agricultural grid, which facilitates movement across the vast, open terrain above the reservoir. A significant transportation artery, labeled 37 1804, runs along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as the primary link for the rural farmsteads that occupy these sections. The drainage patterns of small, unnamed creeks reveal the natural topography that underlies the man-made grid, flowing generally southward toward the Missouri River basin.
