2020 Map of Lords Lake

About this map

Lords Lake dominates the central landscape of this northern prairie region, sitting at the junction of Rolette and Bottineau counties. To the north, the terrain rises into the Turtle Mountains, where the prominent elevation of Butte Saint Paul stands near Butte Lake and Platte Lake. This survey illustrates a characteristic High Plains township and range system, where a precise grid of rural roads like 24th Ave NE and 96th St NE segments the land for agricultural use. The drainage network is defined by small watercourses such as Willow Cr in the northeast and Miller Cr in the southwest, reflecting the glacial pothole topography of the North Dakota borderlands. While largely open country, the map serves as a detailed record of land divisions and hydrologic features near the international boundary.
