2011 Map of Stewart Lake

About this map

Stewart Lake and its corresponding Stewart Lake Dam form the geographic center of this Slope County prairie landscape. The area is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Deep Creek, which meanders through a network of section lines and rural infrastructure. Human presence in this open country is marked by the Stuber Ranch and a grid of essential local transit routes, including Farm To Market Rd and 147th Ave SW. This 2011 survey illustrates the typical land-use patterns of the North Dakota badlands and plains, where water management and ranching operations dictate the placement of roads and homesteads across the vast, low-relief terrain.
