2017 Map of Walhalla OE N

About this map

The Canada / United States of America international boundary defines the southern edge of this 2017 topographic study, marking the threshold between the northern reaches of North Dakota Pembina Co and the Canadian interior. This particular map focuses on the Canadian side of the border, where a complex network of hydrological features and drainage patterns dominates the landscape. The layout of section lines and secondary roads indicates a strictly organized agricultural region where the grid of the plains meets the natural meandering of local waterways. Though the terrain appears relatively level, the detailed contour intervals reveal the subtle drainage basins that characterize this borderland area. The map illustrates a moment in the modern era where transborder geography is defined by these quiet intersections of cartographic precision and rural utility.
