2024 Map of Lake Upsilon SW

About this map

The Turtle Mountains define the northern terrain of this 2024 landscape, where the wooded hills meet the prairie wetlands of North Dakota. The Rolette County Waterfowl Production Area occupies a significant portion of the northern quadrant, reflecting the region's dedication to habitat preservation among a network of glacial lakes and springs like Howard Lake and Holywater Spring. Settlement is concentrated in the small communities of East Dunseith and Shell Valley, with the southern half of the map dominated by the winding path of Snake Creek as it meanders through seasonal wetlands. Local history is anchored by the Saint Anthonys Cem and Lakeview Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for genealogists tracing families in this rural borderland. The intricate network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Bia RD 23 and Bia RD 8, highlights the infrastructure supporting the local community and land management.
