About this map

Riga anchors this North Dakota landscape, situated along a prominent east-west transportation corridor defined by 57th St N. The surrounding McHenry County terrain is characterized by the numerous wetlands and depressions of the prairie pothole region, including notable water bodies like Buffalo Lodge Lake and Rock Lake. These features, alongside the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, dictate the geometric grid of rural roads such as 6th Ave N and 5th Ave N.

For those tracing local lineage, Thompson Cem is a significant landmark located near the intersection of 63rd St N and 4th Ave N. To the east, the map captures a portion of Denbigh, an area traditionally associated with federal conservation and reforestation efforts in the Great Plains. The map's 10-foot contour intervals reveal the subtle, low-relief rises that separate these ancient glacial basins.
