1990 Map of Eldridge NW

About this map

National Waterfowl Production Area lands dominate the southeastern corner of this Stutsman County landscape, signifying the region's importance to the prairie pothole ecosystem. This 1990 revision, based on surveys dating back to 1948 and 1951, reveals a terrain defined by glacial depressions and intermittent water bodies. Notable basins such as Deer Lake in the north and the expansive Moon Lake to the south are connected by the meandering Minneapolis Creek, which flows through the Flats. The map detail includes a local Gravel Pit near Lippert and the waters of Adkinson Lake, illustrating a rural environment where land use is tied closely to the natural hydrology of central North Dakota. Names like Windsor and Hidden mark the township divisions of this agricultural and conservation-focused territory.
