2024 Map of Rennie Lake

About this map

The Burke County Waterfowl Production Area dominates the northern reaches of this Burke County landscape, highlighting a region characterized by its glacial potholes and managed wetlands. This 2024 survey documents the hydraulic network of the East Branch Short Creek, which meanders through a prairie terrain defined by numerous small basins, including Rennie Lake and the aptly named Shallow Lake. The map reveals a highly structured rural grid, where gravel routes like Co Rd 4 and Township Rd intersect to provide access to isolated farmsteads and conservation lands. The landscape reflects the modern agricultural and environmental management patterns of northwestern North Dakota, with the Section-line roads serving as the primary infrastructure for this sparsely populated but ecologically significant territory.
