About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Missouri Plateau along the North Dakota and South Dakota border is defined here by an intricate network of wetlands and small prairie towns. Eureka sits as a central hub, surrounded by dozens of protected waterfowl areas including the Neuharth State Game Production Area and the Rosenthal State Game Production Area. The transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Soo Line railroad, which connects several smaller elevators and settlements such as Artas, Madra, and Hillsview.

A notable cultural feature is the Plainview Colony in the southeast corner, reflecting the region's communal farming traditions. The map also captures several prominent water bodies like Long Lake (Longlake PO) and Salt Lake, alongside the recreational grounds of Lake Hiddenwood State Park. This 1:100,000 scale survey provides a clear view of the transition from the glaciated plains to the more rugged Coteau du Missouri, where numerous lake basins like Hausauer Lake and Wolf Lake dot the terrain.
