2024 Map of Kreiser Lake

About this map

Wild Rice River meanders across this corner of Richland County, defining a prairie landscape of potholes and wetlands typical of the Red River Valley region. This contemporary survey details a rural area primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, with a network of gravel roads such as Co Rd 16 and 87th St SE carving through the agricultural sections. Historically significant landmarks are anchored by quiet resting places, including Otterburn Cem in the south and Elk Creek Cem near the northern boundary. Small-scale aviation is represented by Thompson Private Airport and Krause Private Airport, reflecting the modern necessity for aerial oversight in large-scale farming. To the southwest, the eponymous Kreiser Lake sits amidst a cluster of smaller unnamed ponds, illustrating the glacial hydrography of the North Dakota plains.
