About this map

Turtle Mountains dominate this high-prairie landscape along the international border between the United States and Canada. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial potholes and small lakes, creating a unique wetland geography in this remote corner of North Dakota. Notable water bodies include Boundary Lake, Cavalier Lake, and the expansive Willow Lake, which serve as the primary landmarks in an area largely defined by its natural hydrology.

Settlement patterns are reflected in a grid of local roads like 24th Ave NE and 106th St NE, which navigate around the numerous basins. The solitary Ackworth Cem stands as a focal point for local history and genealogy, situated among family-named features such as Lagerquist Lake, Gatten Lake, and Bergen Lake. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the section lines and township boundaries that organize this rural landscape.
