About this map

The prairie landscape of t140n r73w in Kidder County is defined by a dense concentration of wetlands and glacial potholes that dictate the local geography. This rural territory is organized by a strict sectional grid, where gravel and section roads like 29th St SE and 24th Ave SE navigate the undulating terrain of the Missouri Coteau. The land remains largely unpopulated, focused on agriculture and conservation, with the natural hydrography of small lakes and ponds filling nearly every low-lying depression in the landscape. One of the few significant cultural landmarks in this corner of the county is Woodlawn Cem, located in the southeastern portion of the map near 37th St SE. The survey illustrates a contemporary view of North Dakota's central plains, where the Public Land Survey System creates a geometric overlay across a complex natural drainage system.
