2017 Map of Cottonwood Lake

About this map

The glacial landscape of t158n r92w and t157n r92w is defined by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands characteristic of Mountrail County. This map highlights the area around Cottonwood Lake, a central focal point surrounded by a grid of rural section roads such as 72nd ST NW and 71st ST NW. The presence of the Lunds Valley Cem in the north-central portion of the sheet provides a tangible link to the local pioneer heritage of this farming region. Small bodies of water like White Lake and a portion of Powers Lake dot the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns that influenced early settlement and land use. The rectilinear road system, including 28 - 67 1/2 ST NW, underscores the systematic division of the North Dakota prairie for agricultural production.
