2014 Map of Silverleaf

About this map

Silverleaf sits along the southern edge of this Dickey County landscape, where the prairie is defined by the winding course of the Maple River. This 2014 survey illustrates a rural environment shaped by modern agricultural section lines and water management, notably the Maple River Colony located near the center of the quadrangle. The hydrology of the area is characterized by intermittent drainage and small basins, including the Maple River Lake and the seasonal flows of Dry Branch and Dry Br. The grid of township roads, such as 97th St SE and 94th Ave SE, reveals the enduring spatial organization of the North Dakota plains, connecting isolated farmsteads and agricultural communal centers in a region where the river remains the primary geographic anchor.
