2011 Map of Renville

About this map

Renville anchors this section of the northern plains, sitting at the junction of a precise grid of rural township roads. The landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, with routes like 100th St NW and 25th Ave Nw marking out the section lines that historically organized the region's agricultural development. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern layout of the area, where isolated farmsteads are connected by a network of gravel and paved roads, including 97th St NW and 26th Ave Nw. Scattered wetlands and small coulees disrupt the flat prairie, providing a window into the natural drainage patterns that persist despite decades of cultivation and road building. The map serves as a detailed record of land use and transportation in Bottineau County during the early 21st century.
