2024 Map of Johnsons Corner

About this map

Johnsons Corner serves as the focal point of this modern survey in McKenzie County, situated at the intersection of Co Rte 53 and Co Rte 14. The landscape is defined by the high, rolling terrain of the Blue Buttes and the prominent Saddle Butte in the northeast, transitioning down toward Northfork Creek and Dry Creek. This area of the Williston Basin maintains a quiet rural character, where local history is anchored by the Johnsons Corner Cem and the Silent City Cem. The map illustrates a grid of secondary roads and section lines, including 108 Ave NW and 25th ST NW, which reflect the enduring public land survey system. Geologic features like Kummer Ridge dominate the central topography, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns and elevations that have shaped ranching and life in this part of North Dakota.
