Coal Lake and its surrounding prairie depressions dominate this section of the Missouri Plateau in McLean County. The landscape is defined by the glacial legacy of central North Dakota, where drainage follows subtle undulations like Buffalo Cr and the topographic indentation of Coal Lake Coulee. This 2020 survey illustrates a quintessential section-line road network, where routes such as McLean Co 25 and Co Hwy 16 precisely follow the township and range boundaries of t146n r82w and t146n r81w. The map preserves the names of these essential water features and rural arteries that serve the agricultural heartland, reflecting a modern continuation of the original 19th-century land surveys.
