2020 Map of Arrowwood Lake

About this map

Arrowwood Lake dominates this section of the Central North Dakota plains, marking a significant widening of the James River corridor. The landscape is defined by the glacial hydrology of the region, where the river system feeds into the large lake and smaller wetlands like Dollar Slough and the winding Stony Brook. A notable piece of regional heritage is preserved here in the form of the Fort Totten Trail, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle near Bennetts Coulee. This historic thoroughfare, once a vital link between frontier military outposts, remains a tangible mark on the land. The map also captures the precise boundary where Foster and Stutsman counties meet, showing a regular grid of section roads like Hart Bridge Rd that overlay the older natural and historic paths.
