2017 Map of Stanley SE

About this map

The Little Knife River winds through this section of the northern Great Plains, cutting a distinctive path southeast of Stanley. The landscape is dominated by the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with roads such as 79th Ave NW and 60th St NW following section lines across the prairie. This 2017 survey captures the transportation infrastructure of Mountrail County, showing the modern alignment of 86th Ave NW alongside historic routes like Old Hwy 2. The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and wetlands characteristic of the drift prairie, intersected by rural corridors like Co Rd 22 and the wandering Prairie Trl. This map serves as a detailed record of the township and range boundaries that organized North Dakota's agricultural heartland.
