2017 Map of Rock Lake NW

About this map

The international border between the United States of America / Canada defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape. Located in northern Towner Co, the terrain is characterized by a high density of prairie potholes and small wetlands, typical of the drift prairie region. A strict section-line grid of local roads, such as 109th St NE and 67th Ave NE, organizes the sparsely populated agricultural land. The map reveals the meticulous surveying of several townships, including t164n r66w and t163n r66w, showing how the Rectangular Survey System imposed a geometric order over a complex, water-dotted topography. This 2017 edition provides a clear record of the modern rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns just south of the Canadian border.
