2024 Map of Cando NE

About this map

Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern landscape of this Towner County quadrangle, preserving a vital wetland ecosystem centered around Lake Alice. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Mauvais Coulee and Big Coulee, which cut through the undulating prairie. This area reflects the typical North Dakota section-line road grid, with routes like Egeland Rd and 73rd St NE providing access to the vast agricultural tracts. A notable modern landmark is the Anderson Private Airport, situated just east of the wildlife refuge boundaries. The map illustrates the characteristic glacial topography of the region, where numerous small seasonal wetlands and depressions pockmark the fields between the larger coulee drainage systems.
