2020 Map of Douglas East

About this map

The small community of Douglas sits at the northern edge of this landscape, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its wetland basins and agricultural section lines. This 2020 survey details the transition between Ward and McLean counties, illustrating a terrain marked by glacial depressions such as Bartons Lake and the aptly named Shallow Alkali Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites including the Trinity Lutheran Cem and Douglas City Cem, which remain significant landmarks for the families of the surrounding prairie. The drainage of the Middle Br Douglas Cr winds through the northwestern corner, cutting through the grid of section roads like 100th St SW and 40th Ave NW that facilitate movement across these central North Dakota plains.
