2014 Map of South Prairie

About this map

South Prairie stands at the center of this 2014 survey in Ward County, marking a landscape defined by North Dakota’s characteristic prairie potholes and coulee drainage systems. The terrain is marked by seasonal water features like Kemp Coulee to the north and Blackwater Coulee further south, illustrating the subtle elevation changes that direct local hydrology. For genealogists and local historians, Saron Cem provides a specific point of interest along the section lines north of the primary settlement. The map reveals the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like 107th Ave SW and 27th St SE defining the rural agricultural boundaries. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Nelson Lake sits among the glacial depressions, showcasing the natural ponding typical of this region's geology.
