About this map

The rolling prairies of Burke County are defined here by a series of glacial depressions and low-lying coulees that serve as vital drainage for the agricultural plateau. Little Butte rises prominently in the southern half of the quadrangle, overlooking the nearby Little Butte Cem. This area reveals a classic North Dakota section-line road grid, where travel follows the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, as seen along 73rd Ave NW and 90th St NW.

Water is a central element of this landscape, with Big Spring Coulee and Niobe Coulee cutting winding paths through the terrain. To the southwest, a cluster of wetlands and lakes, including Martin Lakes, Jensen Lake, and Eckert Lake, dot the landscape near Ward Hill. The map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the region, documenting the scattered farmsteads and county roads like Co Rd 16 that connect this portion of the northern plains.
