2014 Map of Pelican Lake SE

About this map

Sheridan County's prairie landscape is defined here by a precise section-line grid of rural roads and numerous small glacial wetlands. The geography is dominated by a recurring pattern of water and transit, with north-south arteries like Center Ave N, 1st Ave NW, and 2nd Ave NE providing the primary framework for local travel. These routes bisect a terrain dotted with countless unnamed potholes and seasonal basins characteristic of the North Dakota pothole region. Small east-west local roads such as 14th Sq NW, 11th ST NW, and 7th St NE connect the scattered homesteads and agricultural plots that comprise this quiet corner of the state. This 2014 survey documents the enduring structure of the Great Plains' rural infrastructure, where the survey grid remains the most prominent human mark on the land.
