2024 Map of Westhope SE

About this map

The agricultural plains of Bottineau County are defined by a meticulous grid of rural section lines and section numbers in this recent survey. Local transport relies on a network of established routes like 19th Ave NW and 97th St NW, which facilitate movement between the vast prairie tracts of t162n r80w and t161n r81w. The landscape is dotted with numerous small wetlands and basins, characteristic of the region's terminal moraine topography, where seasonal water collects between the rises. While no major townsites are featured on this specific sheet, the preservation of the original Public Land Survey System township and range lines provides a vital framework for genealogists and land researchers tracing property ownership through the Bottineau area. The map illustrates how modern infrastructure, such as 15th Ave NW and 93rd St NW, continues to follow the historic cadastral boundaries established over a century ago.
