2014 Map of Canfield Lake

About this map

Canfield Lake sits as the central geographic feature of this Burleigh County landscape, surrounded by a regularized grid of rural section-line roads. The terrain is characterized by prairie potholes and wetlands typical of the Northern Plains, organized by a network of local routes such as 370th Ave Ne and 210th St Ne. In the northeastern quadrant, the Regan Airstrip provides a rare point of built infrastructure in an area otherwise dominated by agriculture and natural depressions. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the enduring surveyor's grid of the American West, where even modern roads like 396th Ave Ne follow the rigid cardinal lines established over a century prior. The lack of concentrated town sites emphasizes the low-density, open-field nature of this part of North Dakota.
