About this map

The International Peace Garden straddles the international border between North Dakota and Canada, anchoring the northern edge of this Turtle Mountains landscape. This unique geographical area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial potholes and small lakes, creating a complex hydrology that includes School Section Lake, Anderson Lake, and Rabbit City Lake. The terrain supports small communities and rural intersections such as Kelvin, Little Prairie, and East Dunseith, which are connected by a grid of county roads and section lines like Peony St NE and 30th Ave NE.

The presence of the International Peace Garden Airport near the border crossing highlights the importance of this specific point of entry. To the south, the landscape is punctuated by numerous family-named and local water bodies, including Schmidt Lake and Jones Lake, which suggest a long-established pattern of rural land use. The varied elevations of the Turtle Mountains offer a distinct topographical contrast to the surrounding prairie regions of Rolette County.
