2024 Map of Lincoln Valley SW

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and protected wetlands dominate this portion of Sheridan County, where the Sheridan County Waterfowl Production Area preserves a critical migratory landscape. The topography is defined by small, scattered water bodies and a grid of rural sections, bisected by the winding route of the North Country National Scenic Trl. This trail provides a unique crossing through the central and southern portions of the map, following the natural contours of the land. Small community burial sites like the Evangelical United Brethren Cem, Westheim Cem, and Hieb-Huft Cem are the primary cultural markers in this sparsely settled region, suggesting the locations of early rural congregations. The area is gridded by a series of numbered roads, from 14th St NE in the north down to 6th St NE, showing the organized layout of North Dakota's agricultural heartland.
