2014 Map of Vang OE N

About this map

This remote stretch of the high plains in Cavalier County is defined by its position along the international border, where the northern edge of North Dakota meets Canada. The landscape is sparse, characterized by intermittent drainage patterns and small depressions that typify the glacially-formed terrain of the region. As a 2014 survey, the map illustrates the modern spatial organization of this borderland area, focusing on the natural hydrography and the transition into Canadian territory. The lack of named settlements or major landmarks underscores the rural, agricultural character of the far northern reaches of the state, where the primary defining feature is the political boundary itself.
