About this map

Crystal Lake and the nascent headwaters of the James River define this rural landscape in central North Dakota. The area is characterized by a high concentration of prairie potholes and small depressions, typical of the glacial till plains. A rigid section-line road network, including thoroughfares like 14th St NE and 26th Ave NE, provides the primary structure for the agricultural operations that dominate the township. The drainage pattern is complex and localized, with seasonal water bodies scattered across the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the Missouri Coteau region. This survey captures the topographical nuances of Wells County as they appeared in 2018, showing the relationship between modern land use and the natural glaciated surface.
