1972 Map of Kunkel Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and wetlands define this Kidder County landscape, captured in detail by the North Dakota Water Commission and the USGS. The sheet is dominated by several large water bodies, including Kunkel Lake and the irregular shoreline of Lake Williams. These basins are surrounded by hundreds of smaller marshes and depressions within the National Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the region's importance as a migratory habitat. Small-scale infrastructure like the Burlington Northern railroad corridor in the northeast and a remote Landing Field near the center reflect the sparse, agricultural nature of the plains. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as a small Cem and family-named sections like Robinson, Quimby, and Buckeye, which hint at the early 20th-century settlement patterns and ranching legacy of the area.
