1979 Map of Harriet Lake

About this map

Harriet Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this prairie landscape on the border of Wing and Lein townships. In the late 1970s, much of the northern terrain was dedicated to conservation, including the Arena State Game Management Area and a National Waterfowl Production Area. These protected spaces reflect a shift toward environmental management in Burleigh County, contrasting with the scattered agricultural activity indicated by numerous wells and localized Gravel Pits. Local civic life and history are anchored by the Zion Ch and its adjacent Cem, located near a central Townhall. The map reveals a sparsely populated region where section lines dictate the road network, connecting isolated farmsteads and rural community centers in the heart of the North Dakota plains.
