About this map

Wild Cow Cr meanders across this rural section of McKenzie County, carving a drainage pattern through a landscape defined by its section-line road network. This 2014 survey captures a moment when the regional infrastructure remains anchored to established corridors such as 129th Ave NW and 127th Ave NW. The terrain shows the characteristic north-south and east-west grid of the American West, where residential and agricultural access is dictated by these surveyed lines.

While largely open land, the map records the specific placement of local thoroughfares like 34th St NW and 32nd St NW, which serve the isolated homesteads and ranching operations of the high plains. The transition of the landscape is visible through the density of these roads, including 124th Ave NW on the eastern edge, providing a precise topographic reference for contemporary land use and property boundaries in this part of North Dakota.
