2011 Map of Lambs Lake

About this map

Melrose Church Cemetery stands as a focal point for local history in this section of Nelson County, serving as a primary landmark in a landscape defined by glacial potholes and prairie lakes. The aquatic geography is anchored by Stella Lake in the northeast and Lambs Lake, which is regulated by the Lambs Lake Dam. This 2011 survey reveals a strictly organized section-line road network, including County Rd 15 and County Rd 35, which grid the agricultural terrain. Smaller water bodies like Horseshoe Lake and Harrison Lake dot the map, illustrating the high density of seasonal and permanent wetlands typical of the North Dakota plains. The lack of concentrated urban development highlights the area's enduring rural character and the importance of its cemetery and water management infrastructure to the surrounding farming community.
