2020 Map of Siebold Lake

About this map

The prairie pothole region of North Dakota is defined here by a dense concentration of small wetlands and depressions centered around Siebold Lake and England Lake. Straddling the border of McLean and Sheridan Counties, the landscape reflects the typical Public Land Survey System grid of the American West. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of rural section roads, including Co Hwy 6N and 23rd St NW, which serve the agricultural plots of this sparsely populated region. This survey captures the intricate hydrology of the area, showing how water collects in various unnamed ponds and sloughs between the major lakes. The cartography provides a clear view of the township and range boundaries, such as t149n r78w and t148n r77w, which have dictated the local settlement and farming patterns for generations.
