2020 Map of Lake Williams

About this map

Lake Williams sits at the southwestern edge of this Kidder County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense concentration of wetlands and small basins typical of the North Dakota pothole region. The settlement of Lake Williams is anchored by Saint Mary's Cem, while the surrounding rural sections preserve important genealogical markers for the local community. To the north, the Evangelical German Lutheran Zion Cem and the Petersville Cem stand as quiet evidence of early 20th-century immigrant settlement patterns. A grid of section-line roads, including 43rd Ave SE and 12th St SE, organizes the terrain around prominent water bodies like Deer Lake and Ranch Lake, illustrating how the agricultural landscape was surveyed and divided into townships and ranges.
