1994 Map of Carrington

About this map

Carrington serves as the focal point of this Central North Dakota landscape, situated at the intersection of prairie agriculture and extensive wetland conservation. The region is defined by the Pipestem Creek drainage system and a dense network of lakes and marshes, much of which is protected under the National Waterfowl Production Area system. Key ecological features include the Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge and numerous state game management areas like Horsehead Lake State Game Management Area. Small rail-aligned settlements such as Sykeston, Hurdsfield, and Tuttle are scattered across the plains, while larger features like Lake Williams and Sliver Lake anchor the aquatic geography. This mid-1990s record captures the region's character as a vital migratory corridor, where managed wildlife habitats coexist with established prairie townships.
