2014 Map of Dana

About this map

Dana sits at the center of this rural Emmons County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a rhythmic grid of section-line roads and winding drainages. The topography is shaped by the meandering paths of Long Lake Cr and Hawk Cr, which carve gentle depressions across the township. In the eastern portion of the map, the Braddock Dam structures the flow of the W Br Long Lake Cr, creating a rare point of engineered water management in this agricultural region. The map reveals a highly organized 21st-century road network, including corridors like 11th Ave SE and 60th St SE, that supports the sparse settlement pattern characteristic of North Dakota's grain and ranching country. For those tracing the evolution of local townships, this 2014 survey document shows the enduring layout of rural sections and the persistence of named water features like Goose Cr and the various branches of the Long Lake watershed.
