About this map

Harriet Lake and its surrounding wetlands characterize this corner of the Missouri Plateau in Burleigh County. The landscape is largely defined by the sprawling Burleigh County Waterfowl Production Area, which occupies significant acreage in the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. This protected habitat highlights the region's importance to migratory bird populations within the prairie pothole ecosystem.

Evidence of early twentieth-century settlement and the Mennonite community remains at the Mennonite Zion Cem located on the high ground overlooking the lake basins. The area is organized by a strict section-line road grid, including 240th Ave NE and 385th St NE, which facilitates access to the surrounding agricultural fields and conservation lands. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of conservation efforts and rural North Dakota life.
