2011 Map of Alkali Lake

About this map

Alkali Lake dominates the southeastern corner of this McLean County landscape, while the southern margin captures the northern reach of Cherry Lake. This portion of North Dakota is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and small prairie wetlands, illustrating the unique hydrology of the drift prairie region. The section-line road grid remains the primary organizing feature of the terrain, with routes like County Hwy-33 and McLean Co 35 providing access across the township lines. A notable human landmark is Harchenko Field, situated in the northern half of the quadrangle. This map reflects a contemporary snapshot of a rural agricultural landscape where modern infrastructure and a naming system of numbered avenues and streets overlay a complex natural system of water bodies and intermittent basins.
