2015 Map of Knapp

About this map

The village of Knapp serves as the central hub of this western Dunn County landscape, situated where the terrain transitions into a complex network of ridges and narrow valleys. This area is defined by its water drainage patterns, with Wilson Cr and its northern branch cutting through the northern half, while Gilbert Cr and the Middle Br Gilbert Cr dominate the south. These creek systems dictated the early placement of roads and farmsteads, many of which are marked by family and community burial grounds including Forest Hill Cem, Teegarden Cem, and Mamre Cem. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural avenues, such as 890th Ave and 530th Ave, which slice through the natural topography. This creates a striking visual contrast between the rigid geometric survey lines and the organic, winding paths of Hay Cr and Rush Cr.
