2020 Map of Florence Lake

About this map

The prairie pothole region of North Dakota is defined by its numerous wetlands and water bodies, centered here along the boundary between Sheridan Co and Burleigh Co. Large, distinct basins such as Salt Lake and Pelican Lake dominate the landscape, surrounded by smaller depressions like Bunce Lake and Bunker Lake. The grid of the Public Land Survey System is clearly visible through a network of local roads, including 327th St NE and 435th Ave NE, which divide the terrain into sections typical of the Northern Plains agricultural landscape. While the region is characterized by these sprawling water systems, the lack of traditional town centers highlights the rural, township-based organization of this territory near West Lake and Sperry Lake.
