2017 Map of Trenton NW

About this map

Eightmile Cr and Painted Woods Cr thread through this section of Williams County, defining the drainage patterns of an open prairie landscape divided by the Public Land Survey System. The map captures the area as it appeared in the late 2010s, where the rectilinear grid of gravel and dirt roads like 150th Ave NW and 50th St NW provide access to the remote sections of Township 154 and 155 North. This topography is characteristic of the northwestern North Dakota plains, showing subtle elevation changes and the sparse intermittent watercourses that dictate the placement of ranching and farming infrastructure. The survey detail is particularly useful for understanding modern land use and boundary lines within the historic townships of Range 103 and 104 West.
