1956 Map of Lords Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Turtle Mountains rise across the northern half of this landscape, a glaciated plateau characterized by an intricate network of small lakes and wooded rises. The Butte St Paul Historic Site stands as a prominent landmark within this upland, overlooking Butte Lake and nearby Deerheart Lodge. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural organization of North Dakota's border country, where the townships of Cordelia and Lordsburg are divided by a clear section line grid that accommodates both agriculture and conservation. In the southern lowlands, the Lords Lake National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the waters of Lords Lake. Local education is anchored by several small institutions, including School No 1, Guimond Sch, and Nilsson Sch, reflecting the distributed settlement pattern of the era. The boundary between Bottineau Co and Rolette Co bisects the terrain, separating the mountain uplands from the creek-fed plains to the east.
