About this map

Upper Des Lacs Lake dominates the western edge of this landscape, carving a deep valley through the high prairie of northwestern North Dakota. The map captures a rare geographic junction where three counties meet: Burke, Ward, and Renville. This rural expanse is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township lines for t162n r88w and its neighbors overlaying a terrain dotted with small wetlands and prairie potholes. Local transit is facilitated by a network of section-line roads such as 100th St NW and 548th Ave NW, which navigate the upland plateaus and the descent toward the lake. The transition from the flat agricultural fields to the coulees and draws leading to the water provides a clear view of the region's glacial topography.
