About this map

McHenry County Waterfowl Production Area dominates the central and eastern portions of this McHenry County landscape, highlighting a region defined by extensive wetlands and prairie potholes. This conservation area is characterized by a high density of small, seasonal water bodies that are vital to migratory bird populations. The terrain is relatively flat, punctuated only by occasional rises such as Copperdahl Hill, which stands as a rare topographic landmark in the northern section of the quadrangle.

A systematic grid of section lines and rural roads, including 6th Ave NE and 57th St NE, organizes the territory into a patchwork typical of the North Dakota plains. These corridors provide access through the complex of wetlands and fields, reflecting the ongoing intersection of agricultural land use and federal wildlife management. The map serves as a detailed record of water distribution and land partitioning in this prairie environment during the early 2020s.
