About this map

Crystal Lake sits at the heart of this Wells County landscape, a prominent water feature in a region defined by glacial prairie potholes and shifting elevations. The headwaters of the James River cross the southeastern corner, reflecting the drainage patterns of the northern Great Plains. This 2014 survey captures a rural environment structured by a precise grid of section-line roads, including 28th Ave NE and 10th St NE, which serve the agricultural interests of the region. A notable point of localized aviation infrastructure is the R Leep Strip Airport, a private landing strip situated just west of State Highway ND-3. The map documents the enduring rural character of North Dakota, where the interplay between natural hydrology and the rectilinear township and range system remains the primary landscape feature.
