1978 Map of Westby Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Kandiyohi and Sidonia townships define this portion of the North Dakota prairie, characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and small water bodies. The 1978 topography reveals a landscape dominated by glacial potholes, including Westby Lake, Jensen Lake, and Blanc Lake. These natural depressions are interspersed with named marshlands like Ford Slough and Christensen Slough, creating a complex aquatic system that influenced the placement of early rural infrastructure. Evidence of small-scale community centers is found at the Ecklund School in the north and the Sidonia School further south, both situated along section-line roads that navigate around the numerous lakes and sloughs. A single Gravel Pit indicates local industrial activity, while the boundary between Burke Co and Mountrail Co runs through the heart of this wetland-rich prairie.
