2014 Map of Mork Lake

About this map

Mork Lake anchors the southern portion of this prairie landscape, surrounded by the distinctive glacial depressions and small water bodies characteristic of the Ward County terrain. The survey captures a transition in the drainage patterns of the region, from the northern Larsons Coulee down through Gassman Coulee and South Branch Coulee. This rural expanse is organized by a precise grid of section-line roads, such as 170th St SW and 54th Ave SW, reflecting the systematic agricultural development of the North Dakota plains. A single pocket of local heritage is preserved at Township Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical interest amidst the surrounding fields. The presence of Prairie Trl suggests the continued importance of local access routes through the open country.
