2024 Map of Senior Lake

About this map

The Wells County Waterfowl Production Area straddles the boundary between Wells Co and Kidder Co, marking a landscape of significant ecological preservation in central North Dakota. This prairie pothole region is characterized by an intricate network of small wetlands and larger water bodies like Senior Lake and Rush Lake, which define the local drainage patterns. The terrain is organized by a strict section-line road grid, including 3rd St SE through 11th St SE, which reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the rural North Dakota landscape. The map provides a detailed view of these natural depressions and elevations within townships t145n r73w and t144n r73w, illustrating how the hydrology of the plains dictates the placement of transit corridors and conservation boundaries.
