About this map

The prairie landscape of Logan County is defined by a dense network of glacial wetlands and intermittent drainages, as seen in this 2011 survey. Centered on a grid of section-line roads such as 64th Ave SE and 61st St SE, the area maintains a sparse, agricultural character typical of the High Plains. Cottonwood Creek meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary drainage point for the numerous small ponds and sloughs that dot the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Postal Cemetery in the southeastern quadrant, a solitary landmark that points to the early settlement history of the region. Significant water bodies like Arnies Lake provide localized geography in an otherwise uniform landscape of fields. The map captures the enduring rural structure of North Dakota, where large-scale farming and natural water management remain the primary drivers of land use and spatial organization.
