About this map

Crystal Springs and its surrounding wetlands dominate this prairie landscape along the border of Kidder and Stutsman Counties. This modern survey reflects a region deeply committed to conservation, with large tracts preserved as the Kidder County Waterfowl Production Area and the Stutsman County Waterfowl Production Area. These protected zones, alongside the Lake George National Wildlife Refuge in the southwest, indicate the importance of the Prairie Pothole Region for migratory bird habitat. For local historians and genealogists, the Crystal Springs Cem remains a primary landmark of the community's early footprint. The map also traces the section lines and local thoroughfares such as 70 Co Rd and 46th Ave SE, showing the persistent grid of the Public Land Survey System that organizes the agricultural and natural spaces between Lake George and the ironically named Stink Lake.
