1979 Map of Lake Helen

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and scattered wetlands define this section of the North Dakota landscape, where the Lake Helen and Lake Josephine basins dominate the topography. The terrain is a complex of depressions and rises across the townships of Kickapoo, Tuttle, and Harriet. Human imprint is most visible along the southern corridor, where the Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the prairie. Near the tracks, the Tuttle Cem and adjacent Sewage Disposal Ponds mark the proximity of local settlement just off the sheet. To the west, the Arena State Game Management Area protects a portion of the wetlands, including portions of Twin Lakes. The map also captures smaller water bodies like Rush Lake and Hutchinson Lake, alongside a functional Gravel Pit, illustrating the region's mix of conservation and resource extraction in the late 1970s.
