2017 Map of Lake Vernon

About this map

Lake Vernon and Tangedahl Lake dominate the northeastern portion of this Ward County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and wetlands. The topography is marked by these numerous small basins, which create a complex drainage pattern across the township lines of t152n r86w, t152n r85w, and the surrounding sections. A rigid grid of section-line roads, including 247th Ave SW and 261st Ave SW, provides the primary access through this agricultural region. The intersection of Co Hwy 22 and Co Hwy 13 serves as a local transit corridor, while the scattered wetlands indicate a terrain that remains closely tied to the natural water cycle of the Northern Plains. This survey provides a clear view of how modern rural infrastructure follows the Public Land Survey System to manage this water-rich environment.
