2018 Map of Keene

About this map

Keene sits at the heart of this McKenzie County landscape, where the agricultural grid of North Dakota meets the rising elevations of the Missouri Plateau. The settlement serves as a focal point for a network of section roads including Main St, 35th St, and Co Rte 55. To the southeast, the terrain shifts significantly as it enters the Little Missouri National Grassland, characterized by the prominent rises of Stony Butte and the Blue Buttes. Water resources are defined by the winding paths of Clear Cr and its northern branch, N Br Clear Cr, which carve through the plains. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the locations of the West Prairie Cem and Clear Creek Cem, marking the heritage of the early families who settled these sections.
