2020 Map of Renville

About this map

The small settlement of Renville sits at the southern edge of this Bottineau County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a grid of rural roads and the winding path of Cut Bank Cr. This section of the North Dakota borderlands reflects the long-standing agricultural and industrial patterns of the region, anchored by local landmarks like the Peterson Airstrip and the Bethel Lutheran Brethren Cem to the north. The presence of Oil Field Rd and Oil Well Rd in the eastern townships points to the energy extraction that characterizes this portion of the Williston Basin. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map provides a precise view of the section lines and township boundaries, including t162n r82w and t161n r83w, that have organized this landscape since the early days of settlement.
