2020 Map of Rolla NE

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands define this section of the Turtle Mountain region, situated along the international boundary between the United States of America and Canada. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of small water bodies and depressional wetlands, reflecting the complex topography of the north-central plains. Human infrastructure is primarily organized around the Public Land Survey System grid, with roads such as Kyle Rd and 51ST Ave NE navigating the irregular terrain. The Rolla Municipal Airport sits in the southwestern corner, serving as a key aviation waypoint near the border. In the east, Hidden Island Coulee provides a natural drainage feature amidst the numerous ponds, while the boundary between Rolette and Towner Counties bisects the eastern portion of the survey area. This 2020 map documents the persistent agricultural and rural layout of the region, where transportation routes like Hwy 43 and BIA Rd 2 connect isolated farmsteads across the prairie.
