About this map

Glacial prairie potholes define this Eddy County landscape, where the Lake Coe basin sits at the heart of a complex wetland network. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the hydrologic character of the region, featuring prominent water bodies such as N Washington Lake and S Washington Lake to the north, and the expansive Cherry Lake in the southern reaches. The terrain is relatively uniform, though the topographic rise known as Devils Thumb stands as a distinct landmark against the surrounding plains.

A grid of section lines and rural routes, including Co Rd 8 and Co Rd 3, organizes the agricultural territory. These roads connect the isolated water features like Ninemile Lake and Medicine Lake, which are characteristic of the North Dakota drift plain. The map documents the persistent township and range system across t149n r63w and adjacent sections, showing how local transit adapts to the numerous natural depressions and lakes scattered throughout the county.
