Clifton Quad - SW 1/4 of NE 1/4 of section 17
DeLorme Atlas page 26-G1

At ND-3 and US-2 in Rugby, zero odometer.

0.0 ND-3 at US-2 – Drive south on ND-3.

27.0 39th Street NE – Turn right onto gravel road.
31.1 Park.

I looked for the road shown on the topo quad but couldn’t find it. I crossed the fence by a big tree and headed north for about 0.6 mile, sometimes in a swale and sometimes on a ridge. Nice views from the top. This county must be the Sunflower Capitol of North Dakota. They were everywhere.

If approaching from the south, it’s 14 miles north of Harvey on ND-3 to 39th Street NE.
