2024 Map of Gackle NE

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and wetlands dominate this portion of the Missouri Coteau in central North Dakota. The landscape is defined by its conservation areas, specifically the Stutsman County Waterfowl Production Area and the Logan County Waterfowl Production Area, which protect critical migratory bird habitats across the county line. These areas preserve the natural topography of the Great Plains, where Buffalo Creek meanders through a complex of small ponds and marshes. Human settlement is sparse, marked primarily by a precise grid of rural roads like 50th St SE and 54th St SE. A key point of local history is found at the Gackle Country Seventh Day Adventist Cem, which stands as a quiet marker of the region’s early ethnic and religious heritage amidst the vast agricultural sections.
