2011 Map of The Hogback

About this map

The ridge of The Hogback rises as a prominent landmark amidst the section-line roads and seasonal drainage networks of Morton County. In this early twenty-first-century survey, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of several key watercourses, including the North Branch Cantapeta Creek and the Northwest Branch Cantapeta Creek, which draw their paths across the prairie. The western portion of the quadrangle is shaped by the Southeast Branch Little Heart River, illustrating the subtle yet critical hydrology that dictates land use in this part of North Dakota.
