2024 Map of Arrowwood Lake

About this map

Arrowwood Lake and the winding James River anchor this central North Dakota landscape, where the prairie meets a vast network of managed wetlands and waterfowl habitats. The Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge dominates the central corridor, preserving the natural transition from open water to shoreline environments like Warbler Woodland. This modern survey illustrates the enduring intersection of conservation and the historic land grid, featuring sections of the Foster County Waterfowl Production Area and the Stutsman County Waterfowl Production Area across the county line. Cultural traces remain in the road network, including the path of the Fort Totten Trl and family-named landmarks like Bennetts Coulee and Dollar Slough. The terrain is characterized by numerous small potholes and basins, typical of the glacial pothole region, drained by seasonal flows such as Stony Brook.
