2020 Map of Rugby NW

About this map

The prairie pothole landscape of Pierce County is prominently displayed in this 2020 survey, where the northwestern outskirts of Rugby meet a dense network of seasonal and permanent wetlands. This region of North Dakota is characterized by its glaciated terrain, featuring numerous water bodies such as Goose Lake and Soap Lake that fill depressions across the township grid. The map details the precise alignment of the Public Land Survey System, including t158n r72w and t157n r72w, which dictates the placement of the rural road network. Local routes like 74th St NE and 67th St NE trace the section lines, providing access to the scattered depressions and small lakes including Herd Lake and Spring Lake. This map offers a clear view of the modern agricultural and hydrological layout of the North Dakota plains.
