About this map

The tri-county boundary where Burleigh, Sheridan, Wells, and Kidder counties meet defines this section of the North Dakota prairie. Large-scale conservation is the primary land use across the landscape, represented by extensive tracts like the Sheridan County Waterfowl Production Area and the Kidder County Waterfowl Production Area. These protected wetlands and grasslands provide critical habitat for migratory birds within the Prairie Pothole Region, a character reinforced by the presence of Woodhouse Lake on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

A rigid grid of section-line roads, including 6th St SE and 22nd Ave SE, provides the only structural layout in an otherwise rolling terrain of small ponds and depressions. The map illustrates a contemporary rural landscape managed for environmental preservation and agriculture, with township lines like t145n r74w marking the continued importance of the Public Land Survey System for property and administrative divisions.
