2011 Map of Cedar Lake

About this map

Cedar Lake serves as the central focal point for this landscape in Slope County, where the Cedar Lake Dam regulates the water levels of this significant prairie reservoir. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including the meandering paths of North Cedar Creek, South Cedar Creek, and the primary course of Cedar Creek. In the northeastern corner, Chanta Peta Creek cuts across the section lines, highlighting the typical township-and-range grid that dictates the local road network. These straight-line gravel roads, such as 18th Ave NW and 72nd St SW, reflect the enduring agrarian structure of the North Dakota plains, providing access to the expansive agricultural tracts that define the region's economy and social geography.
