2024 Map of Lords Lake

About this map

Butte Saint Paul rises above the glacial plains of North Dakota, marking a distinctive elevation within the Turtle Mountains region. This modern topographic study shows the interplay between the high prairie and the numerous water bodies that dot the northern landscape, including Platte Lake, Butte Lake, and the meandering course of Willow Creek. Much of the central area is dedicated to the Lords Lake National Wildlife Refuge, which surrounds the marshy basin of Lords Lake. The map details the precise section lines of the Public Land Survey System that define the border between Bottineau and Rolette counties. A grid of rural routes such as 22nd Ave NE and 94th St NE provides access to the scattered farms and conservation lands that characterize this border country.
