2014 Map of Pony Gulch

About this map

The county line between Sheridan Co and Wells Co divides this quiet prairie landscape in central North Dakota. The namesake Pony Gulch is the primary topographic feature, marking a depression in the glacial till that characterizes this portion of the northern plains. This 2014 survey reveals a highly organized township-and-range grid, where local travel is defined by a network of section roads like 14th St NE and 24th Ave NE. The terrain is scattered with numerous small, unnamed potholes and seasonal wetlands, typical of the Prairie Pothole Region, which historically influenced the placement of early homesteads and transportation routes. Modern infrastructure like Cr-4225 follows these established paths, providing a window into the enduring agricultural patterns of the region.
