2018 Map of Robinson Coulee

About this map

Robinson Coulee and Bonnes Coulee define the drainage patterns of this rural Ward County landscape, where the prairie is carved by a network of seasonal watercourses. The terrain is characterized by numerous small potholes and wetlands typical of the North Dakota drift plain, scattered throughout the southern half of the map. This 2018 survey reveals a sparse settlement pattern dominated by a strict sectional road grid, including 233rd Ave SE and 317th Ave SE, which provide access to isolated agricultural homesteads. The intersection of these local routes with regional thoroughfares like Co Hwy 25 and Co Hwy 24 underscores the area's continued reliance on a traditional land-survey system established over a century prior.
