2017 Map of Duck Creek

About this map

The high plains landscape along the Montana-North Dakota state line is defined by the winding course of Duck Cr and the rural road networks that link scattered homesteads and ranches. This 2017 survey documents a transition zone where the Wibaux and Golden Valley county boundaries meet, anchored by the waters of Johnstone Dam in the southeast. The map reveals a strictly organized section line system, with corridors like Carlyle Rd and Thelen Rd providing the primary transit through the rolling terrain. Smaller drainage features such as Lamesteer Cr provide critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment, while local routes like Last Chance Trl and St Philip Rd hint at the personal histories and naming conventions of the families who settled this borderland region.
