2014 Map of Hettinger North

About this map

Hettinger sits at the southern edge of this West River landscape, serving as a hub where the prairie meets the drainage of Flat Cr. The settlement pattern is defined by a rigid grid of agricultural roads, including Three Mile Rd and various numbered avenues like 9th Ave NW, which carve the North Dakota plains into productive sections. To the north, the elevation rises toward the prominent Rocky Ridge, providing a topographical contrast to the stream valleys. This era of development is marked by the infrastructure of the Hettinger Municipal Airport and the recreational space at Mirror Lake, which borders the main townsite. The drainage of Duck Cr in the northern portion of the quadrangle further illustrates the hydrologic network that supported the region's ranching and farming economy during the early 21st century.
