About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and wetlands define this portion of Ramsey County as recorded in the early 1990s. The landscape is dominated by the National Waterfowl Production Area, a series of protected habitats that span across the township boundaries of Royal, Northfield, Sullivan, and Overland. This topography is characterized by intricate drainage patterns and small water bodies that underscore the importance of the region to migratory birds and local conservation efforts. Small sections of undeveloped land and section-line roads provide the primary framework for this rural northern landscape, where the interplay of water and prairie remains the most significant geographic feature.
