Ruso stands at the convergence of three counties in central North Dakota, where the borders of Ward Co, McHenry Co, and McLean Co meet. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape defined by its grid-work of rural roads, including 32nd St N and 24th St NW, which segment the rolling prairie into large agricultural tracts. The terrain is characterized by numerous small potholes and wetlands typical of the region, with Otis Lake serving as a prominent water feature in the eastern section. The settlement of Ruso, historically known as one of the smallest incorporated cities in the state, is situated along the corridor of 29th St NW, maintaining its position amidst a sprawling network of farm-to-market roads that connect this isolated pocket of the Great Plains.
