2011 Map of Dunn Center

About this map

Dunn Center serves as the primary focal point on this landscape in the western reaches of North Dakota. The area is defined by a sparse but organized grid of section roads, including 100th Ave SW and 4th St SW, which facilitate movement through a largely open prairie and ranching environment. The meandering path of Spring Creek cuts horizontally across the terrain, creating a complex series of oxbows and riparian curves that contrast with the rigid geometry of the surrounding township boundaries. To the south, the topography rises toward the prominent landmark of Clay Butte, while the marshy waters of Moffet Slough occupy the lower elevations. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of Dunn County, where the relationship between natural water drainage and human settlement patterns remains central to the character of the land.
