2024 Map of Powers Lake

About this map

The town of Powers Lake serves as a focal point for this section of the prairie, situated along the eastern edge of the large water body from which it takes its name. The landscape is defined by the White Earth River winding southward from Smishek Lake toward the county line, cutting through a topography rich with wetlands and potholes. Conservation efforts are evident across the central portion of the map, where the sprawling Burke County Waterfowl Production Area preserves vital habitat around Enget Lake and several unnamed basins. This area straddles the boundary of Burke and Mountrail counties, reflecting the region's agricultural and natural resource management. Local genealogy is anchored by the presence of Bethel Cem located just south of the town, while the grid of section roads like Powers Lake Rd and 80th St NW provide access to the surrounding farmsteads and the depression known as Paradise Meadow.
