2011 Map of Underdahl Lake

About this map

Underdahl Lake sits at the heart of this prairie landscape in Ward County, characterized by a dense network of glacial wetlands and pothole lakes. The area is defined by a rigid section-line road grid, where routes like 107th Ave SW and 254th St SW navigate around dozens of unnamed water bodies. This 2011 survey reveals a quiet rural character where the primary landmark of local history is the Helland Cemetery, positioned just north of the namesake lake. The map illustrates the persistent agricultural and cemetery sites that serve as the anchors for this sparsely populated portion of the North Dakota plains, showing how transportation lines like 149th Ave SW adapt to the natural hydrology of the terrain.
