1972 Map of Kunkel Lake

About this map

Kunkel Lake and the surrounding wetland complex dominate this part of Kidder County, illustrating a landscape defined by prairie potholes and conservation efforts. During the early 1970s, much of the area was designated as a National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance for migratory birds and local wildlife management. The map details a sparsely populated rural district where township lines like Robinson, Lake Williams, and Buckeye meet among numerous water bodies including Sink Lake, Iowa Lake, and South Lake. Scattered human footprints are captured through small-scale landmarks such as a remote Cem, an isolated Grave, and a Landing Field positioned near the lake's eastern shore, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians researching these North Dakota townships.
