2018 Map of Pursian Lake

About this map

Pursian Lake and a series of smaller prairie wetlands define this rural landscape at the junction of Kidder, Emmons, and Logan counties. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with a regular grid of section lines and gravel roads including 50th St SE and 24th Ave SE. This late-2010s survey shows the sparse development of the North Dakota plains, where the Bethel Cem stands as a primary landmark for local history and genealogy research. In the northern reaches, the edge of Long Lake enters the frame, while Stink Lake sits near the southern boundary. The map provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and township boundaries, including t137n r74w, which govern the agricultural character of this central North Dakota region.
