2014 Map of Alkaline Lake

About this map

Alkaline Lake dominates the central portion of this prairie landscape, serving as a primary hydrological feature at the intersection of Kidder and Logan counties. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated region of North Dakota defined by its glacial pothole lakes and a strict section-line road grid. The presence of Lake George in the northeast and Fresh Lake to the southwest highlights the varied water chemistry typical of this basin, where terminal drainage often results in the high mineral concentrations that give the namesake lake its character. The landscape is interconnected by a network of rural routes such as 44th Ave SE and 54th St SE, which trace the township and range lines through the undulating terrain of the Missouri Coteau.
