2020 Map of Lake Vernon

About this map

Lake Vernon dominates the northeastern corner of this Ward County landscape, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and prairie potholes. The terrain is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with boundaries such as t152n r85w and t151n r85w defining the administrative grid. This 2020 survey illustrates a primarily rural environment where transportation is dictated by a strict rectilinear grid of section-line roads, including Co Hwy 22 and Co Hwy 13. The high density of unnamed seasonal ponds and small water bodies across the quadrangle reflects the characteristic glacial geomorphology of the North Dakota plains, showing how local hydrology continues to influence the placement of thoroughfares like 289th Ave Sw and 345th Ave Sw.
