2011 Map of Cottonwood Lake

About this map

Cottonwood Lake dominates this central Mountrail County landscape, which remains defined by its glacial hydrology and a strict grid of section-line roads. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the area preserved its rural character through established landmarks such as the Lunds Valley Cemetery in the northeast and water bodies like Powers Lake and White Lake. The map illustrates a high density of seasonal wetlands and small prairie potholes scattered throughout the township, highlighting the intricate drainage patterns of the Missouri Coteau region. Local transport relies on a series of numbered avenues and streets, including 89th Ave NW and 74th St NW, which facilitate access to the surrounding farmsteads and agricultural plots that define the region's economy.
