2020 Map of Sheyenne Lake

About this map

Sheyenne Lake and the upper reaches of the Sheyenne River define this rural Sheridan County landscape, where the prairie is organized by a strict section-line road grid. The geography is punctuated by significant water bodies, including Coal Mine Lake and Lone Tree Lake, which break the regularity of the agricultural plots. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are preserved across these townships, such as Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, Eisenbeisz Cem, and Saint Emanuel Cem. These sites, often adjacent to established section roads like 21st St NE, provide vital markers of the families who settled this region of North Dakota. Modern recreational use is visible through the path of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which skirts the northern shore of the central lakes.
