2017 Map of Woodhouse Lake

About this map

Woodhouse Lake serves as the central focal point for this landscape where the boundaries of four North Dakota counties—Sheridan, Wells, Kidder, and Burleigh—converge. The area is defined by a sparse network of section-line roads, such as 461st Ave NE and 9th St SE, which impose a rigid grid over a prairie terrain dotted with numerous unnamed potholes and wetlands. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent rural character of the region, where the Public Land Survey System divisions of t145n r74w and t144n r74w remain the primary organizing principle for the land. While the terrain is relatively open, the concentration of water bodies near the county intersections suggests a complex drainage pattern across the high plains.
