2020 Map of Dunn Center

About this map

Dunn Center serves as the primary settlement on this North Dakota prairie landscape, situated near the headwaters of Spring Creek. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of the northern plains, where intermittent water features like Boe Slough and Moffet Slough collect in depressions between the low rises. A prominent local landmark, Clay Butte, rises to the south, overlooking a strictly organized section-line road network that includes 101st St SW and 97th Ave SW. This late-modern survey illustrates the enduring nature of the rectangular survey system, showing how modern ranching and agricultural access roads still follow the township and range boundaries established over a century ago, even as watercourses like Slow Cr meander independently across the grid.
