2024 Map of Appert Lake

About this map

Conservation lands dominate the landscape of central North Dakota on this recent topographic record. The Appert Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Emmons County Waterfowl Production Area occupy a significant portion of the terrain, providing protected habitats for native bird populations. The hydrology is defined by the winding paths of West Branch Long Lake Creek and Spring Creek, which move through a series of prairie depressions and low-lying areas. Beyond the wildlife management zones, a grid of section lines like 9th Ave SE and 64th St SE organizes the open country. A single point of private aviation, the Humann Private Airstrip, sits in the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a rare man-made landmark in this largely unpopulated agricultural and ecological corridor.
