2020 Map of White Earth

About this map

White Earth lies at the southern edge of this survey, situated near the winding course of the White Earth River. The surrounding landscape of Mountrail County is defined by the high point of Big Butte and the drainage of Paulsen Cr, which cuts through the prairie terrain. Rural life and the community's heritage are anchored by the Norman Lutheran Cem in the northern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the region. The map captures a grid of rural roads like 74th St NW and 100th Ave NW that serve the agricultural townships of T158N R94W and T157N R94W. This layout illustrates the persistence of the section-line road system in North Dakota, providing a clear view of the land divisions and remote homestead locations as they existed in the early 21st century.
