2020 Map of Pony Gulch

About this map

The border of Sheridan Co and Wells Co divides this North Dakota landscape, which is defined by a complex network of seasonal wetlands and prairie potholes. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with townships like t147n r74w and t148n r73w providing a grid for local section roads. In the northeast corner, the namesake Pony Gulch appears as a distinct geographical feature amidst the high concentration of small water bodies. The transport network consists almost entirely of a numbered grid of local roads, such as 14th St NE and 6th St NE, which serve the agricultural parcels that dominate the region. This 2020 map reflects a modern view of the high plains, where the natural drainage of the wetlands remains the primary influence on the placement of rural infrastructure.
