About this map

Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates this mid-1970s landscape on the border of Burleigh and Emmons counties. The shallow, expansive waters of Long Lake are the central focus, supported by the meandering Long Lake Creek to the southwest. This area is characterized by the prairie pothole topography of the Missouri Plateau, with numerous small depressions and wells scattered across townships like Taft, Thelm A, and Wildrose.

Industrial and transport signatures of the era are evident along the southwestern corner, where the Soo Line railroad cuts across the terrain. Several gravel pits and a remote Landing Strip indicate the local infrastructure supporting this rural stretch of North Dakota. The map provides a precise look at the section lines and field boundaries established by the State of North Dakota Water Commission during this period of ecological management.
