2014 Map of Lake Louise

About this map

Chase Lake dominates the southern portion of this landscape on the border of Kidder and Stutsman counties. This prairie pothole region is defined by a dense network of terminal lakes and smaller wetlands, including Chicago Lake, Fisher Lake, and the namesake Lake Louise. The survey reflects a sparsely populated agricultural environment where movement is dictated by a strict grid of section-line roads, such as 53rd Ave SE and 28th St SE. The topography reveals a complex glacial terrain of kames and kettles, where the absence of established towns highlights the reliance on large-scale land management. This map serves as a detailed record of the hydrological state of these seasonal and permanent water bodies as they appeared during the early 21st century.
