Route description
ND 43 runs in a virtually east–west direction its entire length. Its western terminus is at ND 14 about 3.3 mi south of the Canadian border and about 3.7 mi north of Carbury. Shortly after the route begins, ND 43 enters Turtle Mountain State Forest, where the highway curves slightly but eventually straightens out again. In Roland Township, ND 43 passes south of Lake Metigoshe and crosses Oak Creek. About 12 mi east of ND 14, ND 43 again passes through a small section of Turtle Mountain State Forest. 3 mi east of the state forest, the highway enters Rolette County. ND 43 travels on a straight east–west course for 6 mi in Rolette County before it comes to its eastern terminus at U.S. Highway 281 (US 281) and ND 3, which run concurrently. The terminus is about 3 mi south of the Canadian border and the International Peace Garden, and about 9 mi north of Dunseith, North Dakota.
