Route Description
ND 57 begins at an intersection with US 281 in Benson County and starts east toward Fort Totten along a two-lane road. A few miles east of this intersection, the route warps to the northeast and enters Fort Totten. After leaving Fort Totten, ND 57 crosses Devils Lake for the first time, entering the Sullys Hill National Game Preserve upon returning to land, but leaving the preserve shortly after. The route continues to travel east, curving along the shore of the lake until reaching a small island that is home to a casino. ND 57 bends to the north and crosses Devils Lake a second time, meeting its eastern terminus with ND 20 while crossing the lake.
All of ND 57 is included in the National Highway System, a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
