2017 Map of Rugby NE

About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie potholes define this landscape in Pierce County, where water bodies like Sand Lake and Guss Lake are scattered across a strictly organized grid of sections and ranges. The area is partitioned by the township lines of t158n r71w and t157n r71w, showing a rural territory focused on agriculture and land management in the 21st century. Navigated by a network of numbered section-line roads, including 74th St NE and 67th St NE, the map documents the modern drainage patterns and wetland inventories that have shaped this portion of North Dakota. The lack of named settlements emphasizes the open, rural nature of the quadrangle, where the natural hydrology of the plains remains the most prominent feature.
