[QUOTE="Allen, post: 427611, member: 389"] You are on the right track. By the ND Constitution, every section line is a public road available for transit. However, the counties do have the ability to close a section line, and for the most part the county commissioners seem to take the closing of a section line pretty serious. I have run into a few over the years, they were largely closed because the adjacent sections were owned by one entity and there was a significant natural obstruction that prevented transit to the land on the other side of the section. Getting a list of closed section lines is not always easy for a given county. It's been a few years since I tried to get it for a county after a landowner told me a section line was closed. As it turned out, it wasn't closed. Just blocked by a few round bales, which is illegal. A gal I know owns some land and her neighbor fences or plants the section line she needs to access a part of her land just about every year. She just tells her husband to cut the wires and drive through the corn. She cracks me up. [/QUOTE]
