Douglas occupies the northwestern corner of this 2014 survey, situated on the prairie landscape just north of the Ward Co and McLean Co line. The terrain is defined by the distinctive glacial pothole geography of the region, featuring numerous small depressions and prominent water bodies like Douglas Lake. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Shallow Alkali Lake stands as a notable landmark amidst a network of section-line roads such as 359th Ave SW and 40th Ave NW. Drainage across the central plains is facilitated by the Middle Br Douglas Cr, which winds through the western sections. This map documents the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing the precise grid of county roads that organize the agricultural landscape of this North Dakota borderland.
