2011 Map of Fish Creek Lake

About this map

Heart River meanders through this section of Morton County, North Dakota, defining much of the drainage pattern as it cuts through the prairie. The landscape is marked by the presence of Fish Creek Lake, an impoundment created by the Fish Creek Dam along its namesake Fish Creek. This water feature stands as a significant point of interest in an area otherwise dominated by a sparse network of section-line roads, such as 37th Ave and 49th St. Near the southern edge of the survey, Dawson Dam and the Little Heart River further emphasize the importance of water management in this agricultural region. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the start of the decade, showing how the land is divided and accessed by local residents and ranchers.
