The glacial landscape of the Missouri Coteau in McLean County is captured here via aerial imagery from August 1974. The orthophotoquad is dominated by the narrow, elongated profile of Long Lake in the northwestern corner and the wider basin of Crooked Lake just to the south. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands interspersed with the geometric patterns of North Dakota grain farming. The intricate textures of the fields reveal a mosaic of tillage and vegetation, showing how agricultural production has been adapted to the undulating topography of this lake-strewn region during the mid-1970s.
