2011 Map of Siebold Lake

About this map

Siebold Lake and England Lake anchor this glaciated landscape in McLean County, characterized by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands. The geography reflects the rigid township and range surveying system of the northern plains, where local transit is defined by a grid of section-line roads such as Center Ave and 23rd St NW. This 2011 survey captures the area's rural character, where the natural hydrology of the Missouri Plateau intersects with agricultural boundaries. The numerous unnamed wetlands scattered between the major lakes highlight the seasonal water table typical of this portion of North Dakota. For the local historian or researcher, the map provides a clear record of the modern road network, including corridors like 3rd Ave NE and 1st Ave NW, which serve the sparsely populated ranching and farming tracts of the region.
