2024 Map of Horseshoe Lake

About this map

Sheyenne River meanders through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a distinct valley through the prairie wetlands of Eddy County. The region is defined by its extensive conservation lands, notably the fragmented parcels of the Eddy County Waterfowl Production Area, which protect the numerous small glacial potholes and wetlands characteristic of the area. Central to the geography is Horseshoe Lake, a large water body that serves as a primary landmark in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map details a rectilinear grid of rural roads, including Co Hwy 1 and Wood Lake Rd, which provide access to the dispersed farmsteads and agricultural tracts. This 2024 survey documents the modern topography where the Benson Co Eddy Co boundary line marks the northern transition into the neighboring county.
