2017 Map of Emerson

About this map

Emerson is the primary point of settlement on this high plains landscape in Dunn County, positioned near the eastern edge of the survey. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Knife River, which cuts diagonally across the northern and central sections, while the southern reaches are drained by Crooked Cr and Stray Cr. This area reflects a highly organized rural grid system, with numerical roads like 105th Ave SW and 16th St SW providing the infrastructure for the region's agricultural homesteads. The map illustrates the transition from the upper reaches of the river valley to the surrounding uplands, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns and township boundaries that have shaped this portion of North Dakota's ranching and farming country.
