Is the stream terrace north of the Souris River of uniform width? If not, describe the pattern.

The following questions are based on Map T-4, the “Voltaire, North Dakota” topographic map (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 5 feet). You may also want to look at Figure 40-4 on page 280, a stereogram of this same area.
