About this map

Stump Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the sprawling waters of Stump Lake dominate this Nelson County landscape, illustrating a region defined by its conservation areas and prairie potholes. The survey highlights a significant network of protected habitats, including the Rose Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Nelson County Waterfowl Production Area, which surround several smaller water bodies like Swan Lake and Rose Lake. The topography is generally subtle, punctuated by the localized elevation of Blue Mountain in the southwest. A grid of section roads, including Co Rd 15 and Co Rd 23, facilitates travel through the townships, while the presence of Coon Lake in the northeast further emphasizes the aquatic nature of the terrain. This map serves as a detailed record of land management and water resources in the North Dakota plains during the early twenty-first century.
