2011 Map of Johnsons Corner

About this map

Johnsons Corner serves as the focal point of this McKenzie County landscape, where the intersection of State Route 23 and County Rte 53 anchors a rural community defined by its energy production and agricultural heritage. The presence of the Camel Buttes Oil and Gas Field and the Pershing Oil and Gas Field highlights the region's importance to North Dakota's extractive industry. This 2011 survey documents a land where industrial activity meets established family roots, evidenced by several burial grounds including Johnsons Corner Cemetery, Silent City Cemetery, and Union Cemetery. The natural topography is shaped by the drainage of Dry Creek and Northfork Creek, with prominent rises such as Saddle Butte and Kummer Ridge providing vertical relief to the high plains. The map captures the rectilinear grid of local roads like County Hwy 45, characteristic of the Great Plains' section-line development.
