2011 Map of Breien

About this map

Breien sits at the southern edge of this prairie landscape, where Dogtooth Creek joins the winding Cannonball River. This region of Sioux County is defined by its wide drainage basins and significant landforms such as War Dance Hill, which rises above the western plains. The map illustrates a strictly organized rural grid of section lines and gravel routes, including 25th Ave and 71st ST, which facilitate movement between isolated homesteads and the river valley. In the northern reaches, the headwaters of the East Fork Chanta Peta Creek carve subtle coulees through the terrain. The presence of County Rd 134 connecting to the settlement at Breien underscores the enduring reliance on these traditional transport corridors in the North Dakota backcountry.
