About this map

Lake Tschida dominates the northern reaches of this Grant County landscape, where the waters of the Heart River are contained within the undulating prairie. The reservoir's shoreline is defined by prominent landmarks such as Rattlesnake Point and fed by numerous tributaries including Spring Cr, Coal Cr, and Sled Cr. This digital-era survey reveals the highly organized section-line road network that overlays the terrain, where routes like 75th Ave SW and 63rd St SW intersect a landscape of rolling rises and localized drainage basins.

Local history is anchored by the Johannestal Cem, situated in the northwest, serving as a silent record of early settlement patterns in this part of North Dakota. To the south, the topography shifts toward the Stone Hills, where the land rises above the winding path of Swamp Cr. The map illustrates the 21st-century state of this rural region, balancing the engineered hydrology of the lake with the enduring agricultural grid of the Great Plains.
