About this map

The Knife River meanders across this Mercer County landscape, joined by its local tributaries Gold Creek and Elm Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and ridges typical of the North Dakota grasslands, punctuated by a strict grid of section lines and local thoroughfares. This rural expanse is crisscrossed by established county routes like Co Rd 5 and Co Rd 7, providing access to the various townships within the Public Land Survey System, including t143n r90w. The map reveals the quiet, agricultural character of the region, where gravel roads like 13th St Sw and 73rd Ave Sw trace the high ground and valley edges. There are no major settlements shown, emphasizing the open ranching and farming nature of the Missouri Plateau at this location.
