About this map

Willow City serves as the primary hub in this corner of North Dakota, situated where the high plains meet the intricate wetland systems of the Souris River basin. The town's grid is centered around Main St and Dakota St, with the Po marking the center of local commerce. This survey captures a landscape defined by its jurisdictional intersections, where Bottineau, Pierce, and McHenry counties meet in a rare triple-border configuration.

Evidence of the area's spiritual and social history is found at Notre Dame Cem to the south and Immanuel Cem further afield, reflecting the diverse heritage of early prairie settlers. The drainage patterns of Willow Cr, Ox Cr, and Snake Cr underscore the region's reliance on natural waterways for land management, while the straight lines of Co Hwy 17 and the surrounding section roads illustrate the persistent legacy of the Public Land Survey System.
