2014 Map of Horsehead Lake

About this map

Horsehead Lake dominates this prairie landscape in Kidder County, appearing as a sprawling, irregular water body that defines the central geography of the area. To the west, the smaller Cherry Lake sits nestled among a grid of section-line roads including 30th Ave SE and 25th St SE. This survey reflects the characteristic North Dakota section-line road system, where corridors such as 21st St SE and 32nd Ave SE create a rigid framework over the naturally undulating terrain. The pattern of these roads, combined with the presence of multiple depressions and wetland features surrounding the main lakes, illustrates the unique hydrography of the Missouri Coteau region. This map serves as a clear record of the local infrastructure and natural basins in a sparsely populated part of the state during the early 21st century.
