About this map

Cedar River National Grassland anchors the southern portion of this landscape, marking a preserved expanse of the Great Plains at the border of Grant and Sioux Counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate drainage system where Brushy Creek and Alkali Creek wind through the prairie before meeting the larger Cedar Creek corridor. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where the section-line road grid, including Elgin Rd and various numbered avenues like 69th Ave SW, dictates the movement across the open range. Smaller tributaries such as Turtle Creek further carve the topography, illustrating the natural watershed patterns that have influenced land use and ranching boundaries in this part of North Dakota for generations.
