2012 Map of Frederick NW

About this map

Elm Lake and the Elm River dominate this borderland landscape between North and South Dakota. The topography is defined by the winding course of the river as it flows south toward the lake, carving a distinct valley through the prairie. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern agricultural grid system of the Great Plains, where section-line roads such as 100th St SE and 375th Ave dictate the movement of commerce and travel. The drainage patterns of Webber Gulch feed into the river system, highlighting the natural hydrology that has influenced settlement patterns in Elm Township for over a century. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, showing scattered farmsteads and the network of local roads that connect this remote farming region.
