2011 Map of May Lake

About this map

May Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this McIntosh County landscape, reflecting the prairie pothole geography of central North Dakota. The area is defined by a rigid section-line road grid, including 81st ST Se and 38th Ave Se, which facilitates the region's agricultural layout. Local infrastructure is concentrated in the northern portion of the quadrangle near the Wishek Municipal Airport, while the southern reaches feature the Danzig Cemetery, a primary point of interest for family historians and genealogists researching the legacy of the area's rural communities. Small water management features like Girft Dam suggest the importance of local water control in an environment where intermittent ponds and depressions are common across the plains.
