2020 Map of Ray NW

About this map

The Little Muddy River winds through this section of Williams County, defining a landscape of rolling prairie and scattered wetlands. This agricultural region is organized by a precise grid of county roads and avenues, including Co Rd 10 and 118th Ave NW, which serve the rural farmsteads across Townships 157 and 158 North. A significant point of local heritage is the Rainbow Valley Lutheran Cem, located in the northwest corner of the map. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and ponds, typical of the glacial till plains in this part of North Dakota. While sparsely populated, the map reveals the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System, with section lines and local thoroughfares like 74th St NW and 67th St NW maintaining the area's connectivity and land divisions.
