2011 Map of Tom Berg Lake

About this map

Bethel Cemetery and Saint Pauls Cemetery stand as quiet markers of the rural community in Williams County during the early twenty-first century. This portion of the North Dakota prairie is defined by its glaciated hydrology, featuring numerous seasonal and permanent water bodies like Tom Berg Lake and several prominent sloughs. The landscape is organized by a strict section-line road grid, including routes such as 115th Ave NW and 83rd St NW, which facilitate movement between scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts. The Little Muddy River meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding terrain. Landforms like Peterson Slough, Berg Slough, and Helle Slough illustrate the natural depressions that characterize this region's topography, often providing critical habitat and water storage within the otherwise heavily managed section lines of the Northern Plains.
