2020 Map of Lake Coe

About this map

Lake Coe and a complex network of glacial wetlands dominate this Eddy County landscape, reflecting the prairie pothole region's distinctive hydrology. The 2020 terrain is defined by numerous water bodies including North Washington Lake, South Washington Lake, and the small Medicine Lake to the west. This area shows a strictly organized section-line road grid, where routes like 23rd St NE and 87th Ave NE intersect across the open plains. In the southeast, the topography rises toward the landmark known as Devils Thumb, situated near Cherry Lake. The map illustrates a rural environment where land use is closely tied to the shifting water levels of these varied basins, such as South Twin Lake, which are characteristic of this portion of North Dakota.
