Mud Lake Channel from Arrowwood Lake to Jim Lake, looking toward Arrowwood Lake. Photograph taken from 11th Street SE between Edmunds, North Dakota, and State Highway 9. The downstream Jamestown Reservoir was filled in 1965 and backed water onto the Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge, preventing ideal management in most years.
