2020 Map of Rush Lake

About this map

Rush Lake and its surrounding prairie wetlands dominate this central North Dakota landscape, revealing the intricate water patterns of Ward County as they appeared in 2020. The area is characterized by a sparse grid of section-line roads, such as 317th Ave SW and 345th Ave SW, which navigate around numerous unnamed seasonal ponds and potholes typical of the region's glacial topography. Co Hwy 22 and Co Hwy 15 serve as the primary conduits through this rural terrain. A single cultural landmark, the Spring Lake Cem, provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, sitting quietly amid the townships of t152n r84w and t151n r84w. The map preserves the exact alignment of these rural routes and water bodies before further modern agricultural or climatic changes might alter the landscape.
