2014 Map of Rennie Lake

About this map

Rennie Lake and the surrounding prairie of Burke County are defined by a network of seasonal water bodies and section-line roads typical of the North Dakota high plains. The landscape is dominated by the meandering course of East Branch Short Creek, which transitions into E Br Short Cr as it flows toward the southeast. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the region, including Shallow Lake and Black Slough, alongside a strictly organized grid of county roads like CR-11 and CR-8. These thoroughfares, including the well-defined Township Rd, reflect the enduring importance of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this rural agricultural territory. The terrain shows a distinct shift from the relatively level northern plains to more complex, contoured elevations in the southern half of the quadrangle.
