About this map

The Canada/United States of America international border defines the southern edge of this landscape, marking a remote transition in the northern Great Plains. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey focuses on the rural expanse of North Dakota Cavalier Co, where the geography is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies. The lack of named settlements or major infrastructure highlights the open, agricultural character of this borderland region. The hydrology across the prairie is meticulously documented, showing the intricate drainage patterns that characterize this part of North Dakota before they cross the international boundary line into Canada.
