2017 Map of Lake Williams

About this map

Lake Williams serves as the focal point for this section of Kidder County, where a pattern of glacial prairie potholes and larger water bodies dictates the local geography. The small settlement of Lake Williams is situated on the northern shore of its namesake lake, reflecting a typical North Dakota landscape shaped by the Public Land Survey System. Grid-like gravel roads, including 42nd Ave SE and 18th St SE, partition the land into townships such as t143n r70w. Evidence of the area's early pioneer history is preserved at the Petersville Cem in the northeastern quadrant. Other significant water features include Deer Lake, Standish Lake, and Ranch Lake, which support the regional ecology within this largely agricultural and wetland-dotted terrain.
