2020 Map of White Lake

About this map

The headwaters of the Cannonball River originate in this section of Slope County, North Dakota, where the prairie landscape is defined by the ephemeral White Lake and the dendritic drainage of N Cedar Cr. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t135n r100w and t135n r99w carving the plains into a grid that dictates the modern road network. This rural expanse is bisected by Highway 85, which runs north-to-south, providing a primary corridor through the sparsely populated ranchland. Local history is anchored at the Norman Lutheran Cem, a lonely landmark along 69th St SW that stands as a point of continuity for the surrounding agricultural community.
