2018 Map of Dunn Center NE

About this map

Chimney Butte rises above the open high-plains landscape of central Dunn County, marking the most prominent topographic feature in this corner of North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System, with the intersection of t146n r94w, t146n r93w, t145n r94w, and t145n r93w creating a rigid grid of sections. A network of rural section-line roads, such as 97th Ave NW and 3rd St NW, provides access to the scattered wetlands and intermittent drainages that dot the prairie. The presence of Oil Lill Rd hints at the regional importance of the energy industry, while the lack of established townsites emphasizes the area's enduring character as an expansive agricultural and grazing region.
