About this map

Stone Cr meanders across this rural Bottineau County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by a precise section-line grid of roads. The intersection of ND-14 and ND-5 serves as a primary transit point for this agricultural corridor, while local routes like White Spur Rd and a series of numbered avenues and streets—ranging from 4th Ave NE to 9th Ave NE—provide access to individual farmsteads and fields. This map captures the highly organized spatial arrangement of the North Dakota prairie, where the natural course of the creek is the primary break in the geometric regularity of the land. It is a study of how modern infrastructure and water management intersect in a productive plains environment during the early 21st century.
