About this map

Bantry sits at the southern edge of this McHenry County landscape, where the prairie grid meets the intricate, meandering path of the Souris River. This map reveals a complex riparian environment defined by the river’s looping oxbows and marshy lowlands, particularly around the Hillman Bridge crossing. The hydrology is the primary character of the region, with Willow Cr feeding into the main channel and numerous unnamed wetlands dotting the townships.

Aside from the concentrated settlement at Bantry, the area is defined by a rigorous network of section line roads like 83rd St NE and Co Hwy 17. Further downstream, the Johnson Bridge provides another critical point of transit across the volatile river bottom. This 2017 record captures the North Dakota plains during a period of modern agricultural stability, documenting the precise relationship between the cultivated uplands and the protected river valley.
