1961 Map of Lake Nettie

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Lake Nettie National Wildlife Refuge and the eastern margins of the Audubon National Wildlife Refuge anchor this McLean County landscape, where the prairie meets a complex system of glacial wetlands and water management. A significant Canal system and a Lock represent the mid-century engineering efforts of the Missouri River Basin development, which sought to manage the region's hydrology. Between the townships of Malcolm and Turtle Lake, the map documents a rural community centered around its local institutions, including School No 1, School No 5, and a Community Hall. Local heritage is marked by Bethel Ch, its adjacent Cem, and the Darling Cem. The natural terrain is defined by numerous depressions and water bodies like Crooked Lake, Nygaard Slough, and Hanson Slough, illustrating the characteristic prairie pothole geology of central North Dakota.
