2017 Map of Rolette SW

About this map

Wright Lake and Kishpaugh Lake anchor this prairie landscape along the border of Rolette and Pierce Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and small water bodies characteristic of the Drift Prairie, with Ox Cr winding through the western sections. The rural grid is established by long-standing thoroughfares such as Willow City Rd and Rolette Rd, which connect the isolated farmsteads across the township lines of T159N and T158N. This 2017 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the persistent agricultural and hydrological patterns of the region, showing how section lines and section-line roads like 31st Ave NE and 83rd St NE dictate the movement of people and water across the North Dakota plains.
