About this map

Stony Slough dominates the southern landscape of this prairie region, sitting at the junction of Burleigh and Kidder Counties. This area of central North Dakota is characterized by a high density of wetlands and small water bodies scattered across the terrain. The map captures a strictly rural environment, defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with townships such as t140n r75w and t141n r74w demarcating the space.

Transportation is limited to a network of section-line roads, including 175th Ave NE and 30th St SE, which provide access to the remote farmsteads and agricultural tracts typical of this era. The absence of named settlements or heavy infrastructure highlights the open, water-dotted character of the North Dakota plains in the early 21st century, where the natural drainage of the slough remains the primary geographic landmark.
