2014 Map of Schaffner Creek NE

About this map

The Knife River meanders across the southern landscape of this Mercer County region, joined by smaller tributaries including Gold Cr and Elm Cr. This 2014 survey documents a predominantly rural section of North Dakota where the terrain is marked by a network of sectional roads and county routes such as Cr-7 and Cr-5. The grid-like arrangement of local infrastructure, featuring named thoroughfares like 73th St SW and 77th Ave SW, reveals the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern navigation and land ownership. The map provides a clear view of the water drainage patterns through the creek beds, showing how these natural features intersect with the established road network in a landscape largely dedicated to agricultural and open-country uses.
