About this map

Glacial potholes and prairie wetlands define this rural landscape along the boundary of Sheridan Co and Burleigh Co. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of small water bodies and marshes, many of which are protected within the Sheridan County Waterfowl Production Area and the Burleigh County Waterfowl Production Area. These areas reflect a commitment to preserving the critical habitat of the Prairie Pothole Region, which is essential for migratory birds. A strictly rectilinear grid of section-line roads, including 471st Ave NE and 366th St NE, cuts across the irregular natural topography, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the North Dakota plains. The map reveals a high concentration of wetlands throughout townships T144N and T145N, where modern conservation efforts overlay traditional agricultural divisions.
