The Buffalo Coulee is a winding waterway making its way northeasterly through farm land toward the Red River of the North. It flows around the Grue Church Project footprint.
Beside the Buffalo Coulee

Stavanger Township is locate​d in Traill County, North Dakota with a population of 129. The Red River Valley is the youngest major landscape in the mainland United States. The Buffalo Coulee is a  winding waterway making its way northeasterly through farm land toward the Red River of the North. It flows around the Grue Church Project footprint. A coulee is a flowing body of water that appears after rains or melting snow in the ravines that were geologically cut by the water itself.  Donald Schwet says "rivers that flow northward are actually not particularly rare (there are many in the United States). But the Red River of the North is one of the few drainages in the contiguous 48-states whose waters ultimately drain into the Arctic Watershed. Waters of the Red flow northward into Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba. There, they mix with waters of the Saskatchewan River, whose headwaters lie in the Canadian Rockies. Lake Winnipeg, itself, is drained by the Nelson River, which flows northeastward into Hudson Bay at York Factory, Manitoba. In perhaps a more romantic view of the Red River, its waters therefore mix with those draining glacial ice fields of such places as Banff National Park and Jasper National Park. These waters together drain northeastward, ultimately to be lapped by the tongues of polar bears or to serve as an area for beluga whales to dive and play."
