2020 Map of Dawson

About this map

Dawson sits at the northern edge of this Kidder County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding prairie and wetlands. The topography is dominated by a chain of significant water bodies, most notably Alkali Lake to the south and the interconnected basins of Lake Isabel and Lake Etta. These lakes characterize the regional drainage pattern, with marshy fringes and fluctuating shorelines typical of the North Dakota plains. A grid of section roads, including Co Hwy 10 and numbered streets like 40th St SE, provides access to the agricultural tracts between the water. Near the shores of Lake Isabel, residential developments are evident through labels like N Lakeview Dr and Sunset Dr, suggesting the lake's importance for local recreation and lakeside living in this rural township.
