About this map

Moon Lake dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, a characteristic feature of the glacial prairie pothole region in Stutsman County. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of wetlands and water bodies, including the prominent North Brooks Slough, South Brooks Slough, and Jaff Slough. These depressions in the till plain indicate a landscape shaped by post-glacial drainage patterns, where seasonal and permanent water collection dictates the local geography.

Evidence of modern human activity is integrated into this watery environment through a strictly organized grid of sectional roads, such as 40th St SE and 66th Ave SE. The presence of the L Seckerson Airstrip near the eastern boundary and the named rise at Mt Pleasant suggest a low-density, agricultural land use typical of the North Dakota plains, where small landmarks and private airfields serve a widely dispersed rural population.
