2014 Map of Pillsbury SW

About this map

Crow Lake and Larson Slough define this glacial landscape in Noltimier Township, where the water-carved prairie meets the rigid grid of North Dakota's section-line roads. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a rural environment primarily organized by transport and topography. A dense network of gravel and local roads, including 119th Ave SE, 120th Ave SE, and 20th St SE, segments the land into the traditional square-mile townships typical of the Great Plains. The intricate contour lines reveal a pothole-rich terrain where drainage collects in numerous unnamed depressions and larger basins like the slough. While large settlements are absent, the map documents the fine-grained road network essential for modern agriculture and rural residency in Barnes County.
