Elm Lake and the meandering Elm River dominate this borderland landscape, where the prairie of North Dakota meets South Dakota. The terrain is defined by glacial potholes and the carved path of Webber Gulch, which drains toward the central river valley. This 2015 survey illustrates a strictly organized rural grid system, punctuated by section lines and local routes such as W Elm Lake Dr and 104th St. The intersection of multiple county lines, including Dickey and McPherson counties, highlights the administrative complexity of this sparsely settled region. This map provides a clear record of the hydrography and agricultural divisions in the Dakotas during the early 21st century.
