2014 Map of Cedar Lake

About this map

Cedar Lake lies at the heart of this North Dakota landscape, situated at the intersection of four counties. The reservoir is fed by N Cedar Cr and drained by Cedar Cr, which flows eastward across the terrain. This rural topography is defined by the borders of Slope, Hettinger, Adams, and Bowman counties, meeting in a series of surveyed lines that divide the open plains. A strictly gridded road network, including 77th St SW and 124th Ave SW, provides access to this sparsely populated region, illustrating the systematic land division characteristic of the Great Plains. The map also traces the winding course of Chanta Peta Cr in the northeast, highlighting the subtle drainage patterns that shape this agricultural and pastoral environment.
