2017 Map of Souris SW

About this map

Boundary Cr winds through the northwestern corner of this section of Bottineau County, defining the drainage pattern of a landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System. The area is characterized by its precise grid of rural corridors, including Central Ave and Co Rd 37, which facilitate movement across the agricultural townships of t162n r78w and t162n r77w. This 2017 survey illustrates the modern persistence of historic land divisions, with numerous small wetlands and prairie potholes scattered across the terrain between east-west routes like 100th St NE and 93rd St NE. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural hydrology and the human-imposed geometry of North Dakota's farming country.
