2020 Map of Lake Pickard

About this map

Niagara occupies the northeastern corner of this landscape, situated along the border of Nelson and Grand Forks counties. This region of the North Dakota prairie is defined by its numerous small basins and glacial depressions, including Lake Pickard, Deer Lake, and Gopher Tail Lake. The headwaters of the Goose River wind through the southern and western portions of the quadrangle, carving a subtle path through the section lines. This 2020 survey highlights the enduring rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System, with gravel routes like Co Rd 9 and 121st Ave NE framing the agricultural tracts. Near the intersection of 33rd St Ne and 124th Ave Ne, the Lom Lutheran Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, representing a traditional focal point for the surrounding rural community.
