About this map

Lake Williams sits at the southern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and small water bodies. The settlement of Lake Williams is situated on the northern shore of its namesake lake, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections. The terrain is characterized by a series of larger basins including Deer Lake, Standish Lake, and Ranch Lake, which interrupt the orderly grid of section roads like 18th St SE and 45th Ave SE.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Petersville Cemetery located along 45th Ave SE, providing a primary point of reference for the families that settled this portion of Kidder County. To the south, the Pattersons Pettibone Ranch Landing Strip reflects the large-scale ranching operations and the infrastructure needed for remote travel in the northern plains during the early 21st century.
