2018 Map of Blackwater Lake

About this map

White Shield sits within a landscape defined by glacial depressions and prairie water bodies in this 2018 survey of McLean County. The area is characterized by significant wetlands, including Brumwell Slough and Minehan Slough, which dot the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Central to the geography is Blackwater Lake, which is fed from the south by the W Br Douglas Cr. Rural life and local history are anchored by long-standing landmarks such as Immanuel Lutheran Cem and Roseglen Cem, situated amidst a grid of section lines and township boundaries like t149n r87w. The transportation network is a mixture of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes such as Bia RD 1 and county highways, supporting the agricultural and residential community of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
