About this map

Lake Tschida dominates the northern reaches of this North Dakota landscape, where the Heart River is joined by tributaries including Spring Creek and Sled Creek. The terrain is defined by its agricultural and industrial utility, with a rigid grid of rural roads like 75th Ave SW and 58th St SW carving the prairie into sections.

Evidence of local history and resource extraction is found south of the reservoir. The Johannestal Cemetery serves as a genealogical marker for the area's early residents, while a Lignite Mine near Coal Creek highlights the region's relationship with fossil fuel production. The map illustrates a specialized prairie environment where drainage systems like Swamp Creek dictate the land use between established section lines.
