2011 Map of Eckelson SE

About this map

Kee Lake serves as the central hydrographic feature of this section of North Dakota prairie, which is defined by a rhythmic grid of rural township roads. The landscape is dotted with numerous small, unnamed wetlands and potholes, a characteristic trait of the regional geography in Barnes County. This 2011 edition shows the area in its modern agricultural configuration, where primary north-south arteries like 102nd Ave SE and 100th Ave SE intersect with east-west section line roads such as 43rd St SE and 38th St SE. The lack of named settlements reflects the sparse, high-plains character of the territory, where land use is dominated by large-scale farming and the natural depressions of the glacial till plain.
