2014 Map of Pearl Lake

About this map

Pearl Lake and Mud Lake define the prairie pothole character of this Stutsman County landscape, situated within a dense network of sectional roads. The terrain is marked by numerous small, unnamed depressions and basins typical of the Missouri Coteau region, where glacial action left a complex topography of internal drainage. The 2014 survey shows a strictly organized grid of local travel, with corridors like 20th St SE and 25th St SE providing access through the undulating wetlands. The absence of concentrated settlements on this sheet highlights the agricultural and natural focus of the area, where the primary features are the large water bodies and the persistent, mile-by-mile road system that segments the North Dakota plains.
