2011 Map of Dunkirk

About this map

The Marias River meanders across the southern portion of this high plains landscape, defining the local topography as it flows past F Bridge. This 2011 survey captures the agricultural and water-management infrastructure of Toole County, where the small community of Dunkirk serves as a central point for a grid of rural roads including Hawkins Rd and Dobyns Rd. The area is characterized by several water storage projects essential to the local economy, most notably Melcott Reservoir and Dunkirk Reservoir. The presence of the G N R R Dunkirk Reservoir Dam points to the historical role of the Great Northern Railroad in shaping the region's development. Smaller-scale private and local efforts are reflected in features like the German Reservoir Dam and Wilson Number 1 Dam, which illustrate the complex network of irrigation and stock ponds used to manage this semi-arid environment.
