About this map

The James River winds through this central North Dakota landscape, carving a valley that defines the local geography. The river expands into Jim Lake and Depuy Dam Lake, forming a critical aquatic corridor protected by the Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge. This conservation focus is further emphasized by the presence of the Stutsman County Waterfowl Production Area to the north, which encompasses Stony Brook and several smaller wetlands.

Evidence of early regional movement is preserved in the path of the Fort Totten Trl, which cuts across the prairie sections and the Grasshopper Hills. A structured grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 15th St SE and 80th Ave SE, organizes the agricultural uplands. Near the northeastern corner, the Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem stands as a focal point for local genealogical interest, serving as a landmark for the surrounding rural community.
