About this map

The county line between Griggs Co Barnes Co defines the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid of the Public Land Survey System is etched into the terrain. Situated in the Drift Prairie region of North Dakota, the map reveals a complex mosaic of prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands that dominate the southern sections. This natural drainage pattern suggests a land shaped by glacial recession, where small depressions hold water across the townships of T143N and T142N.

Human activity is oriented around a precise network of section-line roads, such as 103rd Ave SE and 17th St SE, which facilitate access to the vast agricultural tracts. The scarcity of named settlements or major infrastructure highlights the intensely rural and agrarian nature of this area in the early twenty-first century, preserving a spatial layout that has remained largely unchanged since the era of original homesteading.
