2017 Map of Verona NW

About this map

The prairie wetlands of LaMoure County define this landscape, where numerous seasonal basins and small ponds dot the high plains. Twin Lakes in the southwest corner stands out as the primary hydrological landmark in a region otherwise dominated by the rigid geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals the classic North Dakota section-line grid, where gravel and dirt roads like 104th Ave SE and 108th Ave SE mark the boundaries of agricultural holdings. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a highly organized rural infrastructure, showing how transportation arteries such as Co Rd 34 and Co Rd 60 link isolated farmsteads across the townships. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the area's specialized role in large-scale agriculture and provides a clear view of modern land use in the Red River Valley hinterlands.
