About this map

Kenmare is situated at the junction of the Soo Line railroad and the dramatic coulee-cut terrain of northwestern Ward County. This late-2010s survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by glacial activity, with the chain of Middle Des Lacs Lake and Upper Des Lacs Lake filling a massive meltwater channel. The town’s orderly street grid, including E Division St and Soo St SE, sits between the water and the Kenmare Municipal Airport.

Genealogists will find the locations of Rose Hill Cem and Lake View Cem valuable for family history research. The surrounding prairie is dissected by erosion features like Ankenbauer Coulee and Taskers Coulee, showing the transition from the upland agricultural fields to the riparian valley floor. Significant water management is evident at Pool Three Reservoir, which sits just north of the city limits.
