About this map

The prairie landscape of Kidder County is defined here by its numerous glacial potholes and wetlands, most prominently the large Salt Alkaline Lake in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey reveals a strictly organized section-line road network characteristic of North Dakota's farming regions, with corridors like 30th St SE and 36th St SE carving through the terrain.

In the southern reaches of the map, the small settlement of Ladoga sits along a major transport artery, marked here by Van Buren Ave. To the northwest, the waters of Sweetwater Lake break up the agricultural grid. This document serves as a detailed record of the drainage patterns and land divisions within the T141N, T140N, and T139N townships, showing how the natural hydrology of the plains coexists with modern infrastructure.
