2024 Map of Breien

About this map

Breien sits along the southern bank of the Cannonball River, marking a key point of activity in this rural stretch of Morton County. The terrain is defined by its drainages, including East Fork Chanta Peta Creek to the north and Dogtooth Creek to the south, which flow through the undulating plains. A significant local landmark, War Dance Hill, rises above the river valley, offering a distinct topographical anchor for the area. The map illustrates the contemporary rural road grid, including 70th St and Co Rd 134, which connect the isolated homesteads and ranch lands that dominate the landscape. The boundary between Morton and Sioux counties follows the meandering path of the river, highlighting how natural waterways continue to define political and social geography in western North Dakota.
