Elm Lake and the meandering Elm River dominate the central topography of this borderland region where North Dakota meets South Dakota. This 2021 survey illustrates a landscape defined by water management and glacial geology, with Webber Gulch draining the western terrain. The intersection of Dickey, McPherson, and Brown counties creates a unique convergence of jurisdictions, largely organized by a grid of rural roads like Co Hwy 2 and 101st St SE. Genealogists and local historians will find the Aurdal Cem positioned near the state line, a key landmark for tracing early families in this prairie township. Residential access is concentrated along the lake's perimeter via W Elm Lake Dr and E Elm Lake Dr, showing the modern development of the shoreline compared to the expansive agricultural sections surrounding it.
