2011 Map of Mork Lake

About this map

Small wetlands and prairie potholes dot this section of the North Dakota landscape, centered around the waters of Mork Lake. The terrain is defined by a rigid section-line road grid that organizes the rural space, with routes such as 170th St NW and 54th Ave SW providing access to isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a sparsely settled region where public and communal landmarks are rare, making the Township Cemetery a significant focal point for local history and genealogy. Located near the intersection of 170th St SW and 54th Ave, the cemetery represents a stable point of reference in an area otherwise characterized by vast fields and shifting water levels in unnamed basins across the quadrangle.
