About this map

The prairie pothole region of North Dakota is on full display across this landscape, dominated by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and small water bodies. The boundary between McHenry Co and Pierce Co bisects the sheet, highlighting the shared geography of the Central Flyway. Conservation is central to the land use here, with large portions of the eastern terrain dedicated to the Pierce County Waterfowl Production Area and the McHenry County Waterfowl Production Area. These protected zones, alongside features like Horseshoe Lake and the meandering Snake Creek, illustrate the essential hydrology of the northern plains. The road network follows a strict sectional grid, with routes such as 11th Ave NE and 74th St NE providing access to this otherwise open, agrarian landscape.
