2020 Map of Clear Lake

About this map

Zion Lutheran Church and its accompanying Cem define the northern upland of this Burleigh County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural community. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small wetlands and depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau region, with Clear Lake forming a significant central basin. A rigid grid of section roads, including 110th Ave NE and 379th St NE, organizes the territory into the standard rectangular survey units of the American West. In the southeastern corner, the geography shifts toward Stony Slough, a low-lying drainage area that contrasts with the higher prairie pothole country to the north and west. This 2020 record captures a landscape where traditional agricultural land divisions and local landmarks persist amidst the enduring natural hydrology of the North Dakota plains.
