2011 Map of Beaver Lake

About this map

Beaver Lake defines the northeastern corner of this Burke County landscape, serving as a primary hydrologic landmark in a region characterized by its glaciated prairie potholes. The terrain is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and county routes that facilitate the agricultural life of the North Dakota plains. Major arteries such as County Rd 4, County Rd 7, and County Rd 10 segment the land into a precise grid, typical of the Great Plains' development. Numerous small, unnamed wetlands and ponds dot the southern half of the quadrangle below 93rd St NW, illustrating the characteristic drainage patterns of the Coteau du Missouri. This survey captures the rural infrastructure as it stood in the early 21st century, mapping the essential township roads from 100th St NW down to the southern boundary.
