About this map

Sheyenne National Grassland dominates the southeastern portion of this Ransom County quadrangle, showing a complex landscape of prairie conservation and managed land. The Sheyenne River meanders through the western terrain, crossed by the Heaton Bridge along 67th St SE. This area of North Dakota retains a largely rural, agricultural character, anchored by the small settlement of Venlo near the northern boundary.

A significant section of the N Country National Scenic Trail traverses the grassland, following a winding path near distinctive landmarks like Pigeon Point. The intersection of conservation land and traditional section lines is evident here, with the Sng railroad line cutting diagonally across the northern townships, marking the historical role of rail transport in the state's grain-producing regions. The map provides a precise view of the rural road grid, including 70th St SE and 71st St SE, which define the agricultural blocks between the river valley and the open grassland.
