2020 Map of Stewart Lake

About this map

Stewart Lake National Wildlife Refuge serves as a central landmark in this southwestern North Dakota landscape, centered around the waters of Stewart Lake. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the E Fork Deep Cr, which winds through the southern portions of the map toward the border of Slope Co Bowman Co. Much of the surrounding territory is protected as part of the Little Missouri National Grassland, reflecting a land use pattern focused on conservation and grazing rather than dense settlement. The road network is strictly rectangular, following the Public Land Survey System grid with routes like 74th St SW and 149th Ave SW providing access to isolated ranching or agricultural sites. The presence of a Farm To Market Rd highlights the importance of local infrastructure in connecting this high plains environment to regional trade centers.
