This North Dakota township contains private farmland, wetlands, and public land in the National Wildlife Refuge System. In 1994, this township produced excellent crops of wheat, barley . . . as well as ducks.

A patchwork-quilt of voluntary easements covers the township.  These easements protect wetlands or retire highly erodible cropland to wildlife habitat. Legend for the maps
