About this map

Gardena sits at the edge of this prairie landscape in northern North Dakota, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System defines the movement of people and water. The terrain is characterized by numerous small wetlands and depressions typical of the Drift Prairie, with the meandering course of Stone Cr clipping the northwest corner of the survey. To the south, the boundary between Bottineau Co and Mchenry Co bisects the region, marking a political line across an otherwise uniform agricultural expanse. Small local settlements like White and the presence of Zion Cem near the eastern edge provide anchor points for genealogical research, while a network of rural routes including White Spur Rd and Central Ave N connect these isolated locations. The map illustrates a modern era of land management where individual section lines dictate the placement of nearly every road and property boundary.
