About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and marshy basins define this landscape in McPherson County, documented during a 1970s survey. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and water bodies, most notably the expansive Alkali Lake in the northeastern corner. This area serves as a critical habitat for migratory birds, as evidenced by the large National Waterfowl Production Area spanning several sections of the township.
