2017 Map of Bright Water Lake

About this map

Bright Water Lake centers this high-plains landscape in Williams County, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal ponds. The topography is defined by the Section-Line roads of the Public Land Survey System, creating a distinct grid across the prairie. The lone community landmark of Skabo Lutheran Cem stands in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a significant site for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. The southern edge of the map follows the Divide Co Williams Co boundary, marking the transition between jurisdictions. Modern transportation is facilitated by arterial routes like Co Rd 11 and Co Hwy 13, which connect the remote agricultural tracts and small water bodies that characterize this corner of North Dakota.
