2017 Map of Jim Lake

About this map

The Fort Totten Trail traces a historical path through this prairie landscape, providing a linear connection between the wetlands and the rising Grasshopper Hills. This portion of Stutsman County is defined by the winding course of the James River, which expands into substantial water bodies including Jim Lake and the northern reaches of the Jamestown Reservoir. The map illustrates a complex hydrologic network where smaller features like Medicine Lake and Plowe Lake dot the plains, many connected by seasonal waterways such as Stony Brook. The persistent grid of rural roads, including 12th St SE and 82nd Ave SE, frames a region primarily organized for agriculture, though the presence of Depuy Dam Lake indicates managed water resources and conservation areas within the river valley.
