About this map

Beaver Lake dominates the southwestern corner of this Logan County landscape, a significant water body formed behind the Beaver Lake Dam along Beaver Creek. The terrain is characterized by the glaciated prairie pothole region of North Dakota, dotted with numerous unnamed smaller wetlands and larger permanent waters such as Island Lake and Doyles Lake. A structured grid of section-line roads, including Burnstad Rd and Bainstad Rd, organizes the rural space, indicating the persistent influence of the original land surveys on the modern agricultural layout. The map reflects a sparsely populated area where the natural hydrology and the rectilinear road network are the primary human imprints on the land.
