About this map

Dickey County Waterfowl Production Area dominates this section of the Great Plains, where a complex network of wetlands and prairie potholes defines the landscape. The small settlement of Wirch stands as a focal point for local history, supported by nearby sites like the Wirch Cem and Spring Valley Cem that offer important touchpoints for genealogical research. The terrain is characterized by numerous water bodies including Wood Lake, Crow Lake, and Happy Lake, while the seasonal drainage of Webber Gulch cuts through the southeastern corner. This modern survey illustrates the enduring section-line road grid, featuring routes from 90th St SE to 96th St SE, which continue to facilitate access through these protected conservation lands and agricultural reaches of Dickey County.
