2011 Map of Free Peoples Lake

About this map

Devils Lake and East Devils Lake dominate the northern landscape of this North Dakota prairie region, where shifting shorelines have historically defined the geography of the Wood Lake District. The interior of the quadrangle is characterized by a sparse network of section roads, such as 87th St NE and 35th St NE, cutting across a terrain dotted with small glacial potholes and wetlands. To the southwest, Free Peoples Lake and Elbow Lake provide distinct landmarks in a township layout largely devoted to agriculture. Local transit is anchored by thoroughfares like Reeves Rd, which connects the scattered farmsteads and rural properties that constitute the primary human footprint in this area at the start of the twenty-first century. The map reflects a classic Great Plains land-use pattern, with infrastructure almost entirely conforming to the rectangular survey system.
