1951 Map of Spiritwood Lake

About this map

Spiritwood Lake serves as the central focal point of this mid-century prairie landscape, where the glacial topography of Stutsman County is defined by a series of depressions and drainage paths. The map reveals a highly structured rural society organized around the township system, with Ashland, Gray, Fried, and Rose townships meeting in a grid of section lines and gravel roads. One of the most prominent natural features is Sevenmile Coulee, which carves a distinct path through the terrain south of the lake.
