2014 Map of Fish Creek Lake

About this map

The confluence of the Heart River and Little Heart River defines this portion of Morton County, where the high plains break into a network of coulees and buttes. The most prominent water feature is Fish Cr Lake, a reservoir formed along Fish Cr in the northwestern section of the area. This landscape transition is marked by notable elevations such as Chimney Butte and the elongated Oak Coulee Ridge, which overlook the winding river valleys. A structured grid of section roads, including 46th St and 37th Ave, provides access to these uplands, while the Fish Creek Trl offers a more localized path near the water. The presence of Goose Bar along a sharp bend in the river suggests the shifting alluvial character of the waterway, which remains a primary geographical anchor in this part of North Dakota.
