2018 Map of Pearl Lake

About this map

Pearl Lake and Mud Lake dominate this high-plains landscape in Stutsman County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands. The geography reveals a highly organized township-and-range system, with a precise grid of local roads like 21st St SE and 54th Ave SE partitioning the land into agricultural sections. This infrastructure suggests a rural environment where land management and water drainage are central to the local economy. The presence of numerous unnamed wetlands surrounding the primary basins indicates a dynamic hydrology typical of the North Dakota prairie, providing a detailed record of the water levels and drainage patterns that local residents and land owners contend with in this part of the state.
