2020 Map of Johnson Lake

About this map

Johnson Lake dominates the eastern portion of this prairie landscape, where the boundary between Eddy and Nelson counties bisects the terrain. This rural expanse in North Dakota is defined by a rhythmic grid of gravel roads, including 93rd Ave NE and 17th St NE, which connect isolated homesteads across the townships of t149n r62w and t149n r61w. In the northeast corner near Kelly Slough, the Gethsemane Cem stands as a quiet landmark for local genealogical research. The hydrology of the area is characterized by seasonal drainage and wetlands, with Colvin Cr winding through the western sections. The map preserves the precise layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing the small depressions and sloughs typical of the drift prairie before modern land alterations.
