2020 Map of Cottonwood Lake

About this map

Cottonwood Lake dominates the central landscape of this western North Dakota quadrangle, reflecting the characteristic prairie pothole topography of the region. The map preserves the rural geometry of Township 158 North, Range 92 West and Township 157 North, Range 92 West, where a network of gravel roads like 74th St NW and 89th Ave NW follow the section lines. Near the northern boundary, the Lunds Valley Cemetery stands as a significant point for genealogical research, marking the community history of this remote agricultural area. To the southeast, the shoreline of White Lake appears along the margin, further illustrating the wetland-rich environment of the Missouri Coteau. This 2020 survey provides a precise modern look at the land's elevation and surface water distribution before further landscape shifts occur.
