2014 Map of Roth

About this map

Roth sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Bottineau County, where the section-line grid of the North Dakota prairie meets the international boundary with Canada. This 2014 survey illustrates a region defined by agricultural organization, with a network of rural routes such as CR-6, CR-33, and CR-27a providing the primary infrastructure for the scattered farmsteads. The land is punctuated by numerous small prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands, typical of the drift prairie topography. In the southeastern corner, the meandering path of Boundary Creek (also labeled as Boundary Cr) cuts across the rectangular grid, offering a rare natural deviation from the rigid surveyor's lines that otherwise dominate the borderlands of the United States.
