2011 Map of Karlsruhe NE

About this map

The Souris River meanders heavily through this portion of McHenry County, creating a complex network of oxbows and riparian curves that dominate the northern landscape. This 2011 survey captures the hydrological character of the region where the Wintering River flows into the Souris, a confluence marked by intricate wetland patterns and shifting water channels. The terrain is relatively sparse, defined primarily by its water bodies and a rigid grid of local rural roads such as Central Ave N and 57th St NE. Isolated features like Poison Lake and Heffner Lake provide localized landmarks within the agricultural landscape, illustrating the water-dependent nature of the region's geography and the persistent drainage patterns of the North Dakota plains.
