2017 Map of Killdeer

About this map

Killdeer serves as the primary hub of this Dunn County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Missouri River basin. The town's grid extends toward the Killdeer Cem on the eastern edge, while the surrounding territory is defined by a dense network of watercourses. The Knife River and its tributary, the Little Knife River, meander across the southern sections of the quadrangle, carving through the terrain alongside Wolf Cr. To the north, Spring Cr and Murphy Cr drain the higher elevations, illustrating the complex hydrology that has historically dictated land use and ranching boundaries in this part of North Dakota. A systematic road network, including Spring Creek Rd and 110th Ave SW, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, highlighting the orderly transition from wild prairie to a managed agricultural and residential landscape.
