2020 Map of Pingree SW

About this map

Pipestem Creek meanders through this section of Stutsman County, cutting a distinct valley through the prairie landscape. The area is defined by its precise grid of rural section-line roads, such as 71st Ave SE and 21st St SE, which facilitate access to the surrounding agricultural tracts. While the terrain is relatively uniform, the hydrology of Pipestem Cr creates a natural corridor that breaks the geometric regularity of the land survey. Modern infrastructure is represented by Co Hwy 42, which serves as a primary east-west artery through this sparsely populated township region. The map reflects a landscape organized for utility, showing how the drainage of the creek and the township divisions dictate the movement and settlement patterns of central North Dakota.
