2014 Map of Kief

About this map

The small town of Kief sits at the intersection of McHenry, Sheridan, and McLean counties, serving as a quiet focal point in this portion of the North Dakota prairie. The landscape is defined by its glacial prairie pothole topography, characterized by numerous depressions and wetlands like Moesner Lake, Ebel Lake, and the larger Krueger Lake further south. These water bodies are interspersed among a strictly rectangular grid of section-line roads, such as 24th St NE and Center Ave N, which dictate the movement of local commerce and travel. Highway 53 provides the primary east-west arterial through this agricultural terrain. Genealogy researchers will find interest in the documented locations of the Kief City Cem and the nearby Kief Cem, both situated just outside the central settlement area.
