2017 Map of Lostwood

About this map

White Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Mountrail County survey, anchor to a glaciated terrain defined by numerous small depressions and sloughs. The rural character of the region is evident in the sparse settlement pattern, where the namesake community of Lostwood serves as a local landmark. A notable concentration of community history is found at the Lostwood Cem and the German Mennonite Cem, providing valuable physical markers for genealogists and local historians tracking the early families of the central North Dakota plains. The map reveals a strictly regulated grid of section lines and gravel roads, including 81st Ave NW and 73rd St NW, which dictate the movement across this agricultural and wetland mosaic. To the north, the Kittelson Slough and various unnamed water bodies reflect the hydrologic complexity of the Prairie Pothole Region.
