About this map

The Hogback rises as a prominent topographical landmark in this rural section of Morton County, anchoring a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Missouri River watershed. The terrain is intricately carved by the Northwest Br Cantapeta Cr and the N Br Cantapeta Cr, which flow through the eastern and central portions of the quadrangle. To the west, the headwaters of the Southeast Br Little Heart River shape the contours of the land.

A rigid section-line road grid, including 19th Ave and 60th St, overlays the natural features, illustrating the systematic land division of the North Dakota plains. While the map is predominantly open country, the intersection of these local routes provides a framework for identifying specific land tracts and historical property boundaries in a region where the natural rise of the land dictates the path of travel and water.
