2014 Map of Lake Helen

About this map

Lake Helen and a series of expansive prairie potholes define this landscape on the boundary of Burleigh and Kidder counties. This 2014 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, where large water bodies like Lake Josephine, Rush Lake, and Hutchinson Lake occupy the depressions between undulating glacial terrain. The land is organized by a strict section-line road grid, with routes such as 12th St SE and 21st Ave SE providing access across the rural acreage. In the southeastern corner, the Tuttle Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark for the nearby community, while the presence of Twin Lakes further north highlights the importance of surface water to the local environment and agricultural history of this North Dakota plains region.
