2018 Map of May Lake

About this map

May Lake and the surrounding prairie of McIntosh County are documented in this 2018 survey, reflecting the persistent grid of section lines that define North Dakota's agricultural landscape. The area is characterized by a high density of small wetlands and depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau region. A significant site for local history and genealogy is the Danzig Baptist Cem, located in the southern portion of the quadrangle along 88th St SE. This cemetery serves as a physical record of the early German-Russian settlement patterns that established the region's religious and social foundations. To the north, the Wishek Municipal Airport marks the transition toward the city of Wishek, while a network of rural roads such as 81st St SE and 84th St SE provide the framework for the modern farming operations that continue to shape the land.
