2017 Map of Underdahl Lake

About this map

Underdahl Lake and Mellam Lake anchor the water-spotted prairie of Ward County in this modern survey. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines are traced by gravel and paved routes such as Co Hwy 18 and Co Hwy 20. This region maintains a traditional agricultural character, with scattered farmsteads and rural infrastructure organized within townships like t153n r86w and t153n r85w. For those researching local family ties, the Helland Cem stands as a significant genealogical landmark, situated along the section boundary near the lakes. The intricate network of wetlands and seasonal ponds shown throughout the quadrangle reflects the glacial history of the North Dakota plains.
