About this map

Girard Lake dominates the eastern edge of this landscape in North Dakota, illustrating the typical pothole region geography of Pierce County. The terrain is defined by numerous unnamed wetlands and depressions, with Baitema Lake situated as another significant water body in the west-central portion of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey reveals a highly organized rural grid system, with precisely surveyed section lines and numbered roads such as 49th St NE and 41st St NE providing access through the prairie. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System, clearly delineating townships including t153n r73w and t154n r74w. This specific configuration of lakes and surveyed farm plots captures the enduring agricultural character and hydrology of the northern plains.
