About this map

The International Peace Garden straddles the boundary between the United States and Canada in this northern North Dakota landscape. This specific survey highlights a glaciated terrain within the Turtle Mountains, characterized by a high density of small lakes and wetlands including School Section Lake, Berry Lake, and Butler Lake. The small settlement of Kelvin serves as a local point of reference along the road network leading toward the international border.

Transportation in the early 21st century relies on a grid of rural routes such as 109th St NE and Co Rd 43, which navigate around the numerous water bodies like Lockhart Lake and Anderson Lake. The presence of the International Peace Garden Airport near the border crossing underscores the region's role as a symbolic and functional gateway between nations. Small drainages like Indian Cr and Mineral Cr weave through the township sections, defining the drainage patterns of this prairie pothole region.
