About this map

Johnson Lake sits at the heart of this landscape, straddling the boundary where Nelson and Eddy counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands, typical of the drift prairie region. Water drainage is channeled through Colvin Cr and Kelly Slough, which cut across the north and eastern sections of the quadrangle.

The area is organized by a strict grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Co Rd 3 and numerous numbered avenues like 93rd Ave NE. This 2018 survey illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural environment where the land is divided into large townships such as t149n r62w and t148n r62w. The placement of farmsteads and the preservation of natural sloughs highlight the ongoing balance between intensive cultivation and the region's unique glacial hydrology.
