About this map

Wirch stands as the primary namesake settlement in this corner of Dickey County, situated within a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands. The presence of Wirch Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this rural North Dakota region. The topography is dominated by numerous water bodies of varying sizes, including the prominent Wood Lake and the cluster of Crab Tree Lakes to the southeast. Transport in the area is dictated by a strict section-line grid, with routes such as 90th St SE and 70th Ave SE carving through the terrain. The northern reaches of Webber Gulch cross the lower portion of the map, illustrating the subtle drainage patterns that influence the local ecology between Crow Lake and Happy Lake.
