2024 Map of Johnson Lake

About this map

Johnson Lake National Wildlife Refuge anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the prairie of North Dakota transitions into a network of wetlands and conservation lands. The terrain is defined by the glacial depressions typical of the region, including Johnson Lake and Kelly Slough, which provide critical habitat within the Eddy County Waterfowl Production Area. This specific era of the plains is marked by a well-defined section line road grid, such as 92nd Ave NE and 23rd St NE, which facilitates access to the remote military installations at NG Camp Grafton. For genealogists and local historians, the Gethsemane Cem near the Nelson County line stands as a solitary marker of the area's early rural communities. The map highlights the intersection of public land management and agricultural boundaries in the township and range divisions of t149n r62w.
