2011 Map of Demicks Lake

About this map

Demicks Lake anchors the southeastern portion of this McKenzie County landscape, where the prairie is defined by its drainage systems and long-established ranching interests. Throughout the quadrangle, named family holdings such as the M Wahus Ranch, S Grantier Ranch, and H Stole Ranch indicate the continued significance of large-scale land ownership in this part of North Dakota. The terrain is deeply etched by Clear Creek and its various tributaries, including North Branch Clear Creek and Timber Prong Creek. These waterways, along with features like Greenieu Coulee and Jackson Coulee, reveal the natural erosion patterns of the high plains. The map also documents a network of rural routes, including Co RD 10 and County Rte 12, which connect these isolated homesteads across the open country.
