==Geography==
The [[Souris River]] loops through the county before turning north to its eventual discharge into [[Lake Winnipeg]]. The Wintering River drains the southern part of the county. The county terrain consists of rolling hills, partly devoted to agriculture (including limited use of [[center pivot irrigation]]).<ref name="MCND">{{Cite web |title=McHenry County · North Dakota |url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/McHenry+County,+ND/@47.9911257,-100.8226736,37405m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x52d952da65159203:0x3c1104b910d61d99!8m2!3d48.3814671!4d-100.7008406 |access-date=2024-04-27 |website=Google Maps |language=en}}</ref> The terrain slopes to the north and east, with its highest point on the west boundary line near the southwest corner, at {{convert|2,156|ft|m|abbr=on}} ASL.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm |title="Find an Altitude/McHenry County ND" Google Maps (accessed February 23, 2019) |access-date=February 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190521043409/https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm |archive-date=May 21, 2019 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The county has a total area of {{convert|1912|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|1874|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|38|sqmi}} (2.0%) is water.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_38.txt|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=February 1, 2015|date=August 22, 2012|title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150129045530/http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_38.txt|archive-date=January 29, 2015}}</ref> In 2013, 131 plants were collected in the Lake George area.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20170622182330/http://ashipunov.info/shipunov/fnddb/list_lg.pdf The checklist of the flora of Lake George environs, McHenry County, North Dakota]}}</ref>
