2011 Map of Havelock

About this map

Havelock sits in the northwest corner of this plains landscape, where the Cannonball River meanders through a network of tributary drainages. The map reveals a highly structured rural grid, characteristic of the western Dakotas, where transportation is defined by long, straight thoroughfares like Havelock Rd and Indian Cr Dam Rd. This 2011 survey captures a quiet reach of Hettinger County where the land is carved by several distinct watercourses, including Coal Bank Creek and Squaw Creek. The hydrology is central to the area's layout, with Hay Slough Creek and Tepee Creek adding to the intricate drainage pattern that flows toward the Missouri River basin, illustrating how these seasonal or intermittent streams dictated the placement of early settlements and road networks.
