2018 Map of Clear Lake

About this map

Clear Lake sits at the center of this prairie landscape in Burleigh County, surrounded by an intricate network of wetlands and potholes characteristic of the North Dakota glacial till plain. The area is organized by a strict grid of township and range lines, including T140n R75w and T141n R75w, where section roads like 175th Ave NE provide access to the remote agricultural allotments. Cultural landmarks are concentrated in the northern sections, most notably the Zion Lutheran Church and the adjacent Zion Lutheran Cem. This map illustrates the persistent 19th-century land survey patterns that continue to dictate the placement of rural residences and religious centers in the 21st century. The terrain is relatively flat, punctuated by small depressions and marshes that define the drainage patterns between the various sections of Burleigh County.
