About this map

Voltaire sits near the southern edge of this McHenry County landscape, positioned along a transportation corridor where local roads like 42nd St N and 12th Ave N intersect. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Souris River in the northwest and a scattered collection of prairie potholes and larger water bodies, including Lake Hester and Erickson Lake. To the north, the elevation rises away from the river valley into rolling hills marked by the small Westgaard Cem and Walley Cem.

The survey highlights the drainage patterns of the region, where Blacktail Coulee and Stink Cr channel water through the glacial landscape. The grid-based section lines of the Public Land Survey System divide the township into a predictable network of rural routes, such as River Rd N and Hidden Valley Rd, which provide access to the isolated farmsteads and agricultural tracts typical of North Dakota's central plains.
