2014 Map of Lake Williams

About this map

Lake Williams sits at the heart of this Kidder County landscape, where the terrain is defined by numerous prairie potholes and glacial depressions. The settlement is positioned along Nd-36, which serves as the primary east-west corridor through this portion of North Dakota. To the north and east, the map reveals a remote pastoral character, punctuated by Petersville Cem and a series of significant water bodies including Deer Lake, Standish Lake, and Ranch Lake. The rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System is evident in the numbered section roads, such as 12th St SE and 47th Ave SE, which organize the agricultural land and connect isolated farmsteads to the village center. This 2014 survey captures a quiet, rural interior before further modernization, preserving the locations of local landmarks and water levels crucial for genealogy and land use research.
