2017 Map of Senior Lake

About this map

Senior Lake and Rush Lake dominate the hydrography of this North Dakota prairie landscape, where the flat terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and small basins. Located along the boundary of Wells Co Kidder Co, the area is organized by a precise grid of section lines and gravel roads, including 3rd St SE and 24th Ave SE. The survey reflects the enduring Public Land Survey System (PLSS) structure of the Missouri Coteau region, shown here within t144n r73w and surrounding townships. This 2017 edition records the modern state of the northern plains, where the land is primarily divided into large-scale agricultural blocks. The distribution of water features suggests a dynamic ecosystem of prairie potholes, essential for regional hydrology and migratory bird habitats.
