2020 Map of Alkaline Lake NW

About this map

The rolling prairie landscape along the Kidder Co Logan Co boundary is defined by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and small basins typical of the Missouri Coteau region. Near the center of this landscape lies the Glueckstal Cem, a significant marker of the German-Russian heritage that shaped this part of North Dakota. The area's settlement pattern is reflected in a precise grid of section-line roads, including 46th St SE and 37th Ave SE, which navigate around numerous depressions. In the southeastern corner, the presence of Fresh Lake provides one of the few permanent water bodies amidst the myriad small potholes and marshes. This map captures a rural environment where land use remains closely tied to the natural topography and the historical township divisions of the Public Land Survey System.
