About this map

The James River winds through this central North Dakota landscape, anchoring a significant corridor of wetlands and water bodies in Stutsman County. Following the eastern bank of the river, the historical Fort Totten Trail traces a path through the valley, providing a tangible link to 19th-century frontier transit routes. The river's course is interrupted by the Jamestown Reservoir and the Jim Reservoir, which integrate with natural features like Jim Lake and Plowe Lake to form a complex riparian environment.

Elevated terrain is represented by the Grasshopper Hills, which overlook the surrounding prairie and the smaller Medicine Lake. The map details the gridded network of rural roads, such as 80th Ave SE and 14th St SE, which divide the agricultural land. This survey captures the specialized water management and drainage patterns where Stony Brook enters the river system, reflecting the area's role in the regional watershed near Depuy Dam Lake.
