2020 Map of Stony Slough

About this map

Stony Slough defines the hydrologic character of this prairie landscape along the border of Burleigh and Kidder Counties. The terrain is marked by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies that dictate the positioning of the local section-line road system. This grid of county roads, including 175th Ave NE, 162nd Ave NE, and 110th Ave NE, provides the primary structure for the rural agricultural tracts. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of the Public Land Survey System with natural water features, where township lines like t140n r75w and t140n r74w cross the seasonally variable sloughs typical of this portion of North Dakota.
