2018 Map of Shields SW

About this map

Cedar River National Grassland anchors the southwestern corner of this landscape in the Porcupine District of Sioux County. This 2018 survey reveals a sparse, open terrain defined by subtle drainage patterns and Section lines. The most prominent water feature is Leaf on the Hill Cr, which winds through several townships, including t131n r84w and t130n r84w. The map illustrates the character of modern North Dakota ranching and conservation lands, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System remains the primary organizer of space. While most of the area is undeveloped, the presence of 37th Ave provides one of the few named arterial routes through this high plains environment.
