About this map

The James River snakes through the center of this Stutsman County landscape, its course interrupted and widened by several water management structures. Small impoundments and natural basins define the local hydrography, including the prominent Jim Dam and the southern Depuy Dam, which forms Depuy Dam Lake. These water features serve as critical landmarks in a region dominated by a systematic grid of section roads like 80th Ave SE and 15th St SE.

Elevated terrain is most notable at the Grasshopper Hills, which rise above the surrounding plains and the wetlands near Medicine Lake. The map details a transition from the river valley to higher ground, with drainage provided by Stony Brook and smaller bodies such as Mud Lake and Plowe Lake. This 2011 survey documents the rural character and essential water infrastructure of central North Dakota.
