About this map

The Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern drainage of this mid-1980s landscape, where the James River and Sand Lake Reservoir create a vital corridor for migratory birds. This region, spanning the border between North Dakota and South Dakota, is characterized by its organized agricultural colonies and water management systems. Numerous flowing wells dot the prairies near settlements such as Frederick and Hecla, while communal living is evidenced by the Spring Creek Colony, Long Lake Colony, and Plainview Colony No 2.
