2017 Map of Round Lake

About this map

The low-lying wetland complexes of Pierce County define this prairie landscape, where the waters of Round Lake and the irregular basin of Horseshoe Lake dominate the northern terrain. The sheet captures a moment in the region's 21st-century topography, characterized by a stark, rectilinear grid of county roads such as 74th St NE and 20th Ave NE that carve the plains into regular sections. For local historians and genealogists, the Southwest Barton Cem serves as a significant landmark, situated amidst the wide-open spaces of Township 158 North. To the south, the expansive marshy reaches of Rush Lake illustrate the seasonal hydrology of the North Dakota pothole region, where water levels often shift across the township lines of t157n r74w.
