About this map

Heart River winds through the southwestern corner of this Stark County landscape, anchoring a topography defined by the drainage basins of the Missouri River plateau. The area is dissected by Government Cr, which trends southeast across the township boundaries of T139n R92w and T138n R92w. This 2020 survey illustrates the characteristic section-line road grid of the North Dakota prairie, where routes like 91st Ave SW and 45th St SW mark the precise geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals the relationship between the natural hydrology of the plains and the modern transportation network, showing how local section roads navigate the draws and coulees leading toward the river valley.
