About this map

The international border with Canada defines the northern edge of this high-plains landscape in North Dakota. As part of a 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey, the mapping depicts an area of glacial prairie potholes and scattered water bodies. The most prominent hydrologic feature is Crystal Creek, which meanders across the central portion of the quadrangle. This specific environment is characteristic of the northern reach of Cavalier County, where the terrain is dominated by the natural drainage patterns of small basins rather than dense road networks or established settlements. The lack of cultural labels reflects the open, agricultural character of the region along the border at the time of this survey.
