2020 Map of Horseshoe Lake

About this map

Horseshoe Lake anchors the northern portion of this landscape where the boundary between Benson Co and Eddy Co is defined. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial wetlands and prairie potholes that give way to the more defined drainage of the Sheyenne River in the south. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural region in the Wood Lake District, where a rectilinear grid of local roads like Wood Lake Rd and 80th Ave Ne provides access to the scattered wetlands. The winding path of the Sheyenne River provides a sharp contrast to the geometric section lines and county thoroughfares such as Co Hwy 1 and Co Hwy 6 that segment the plains.
