2014 Map of Medina SW

About this map

Crystal Springs sits at the northern edge of this prairie landscape, where the interstate corridor cuts through the rolling terrain of the Missouri Coteau. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its numerous small basins and glacial lakes, including the aptly named Chokecherry Lake and Stink Lake. The presence of the Crystal Springs Cem near the town center provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this sparsely populated portion of the North Dakota plains. Straddling the boundary between Kidder and Stutsman counties, the map shows a strictly defined section-line road grid, such as 47th Ave Se and 38th ST Se, which organizes the agricultural landscape around natural water features like Lake George.
