2024 Map of Manning NW

About this map

Crooked Creek meanders through the southern portions of this Dunn County landscape, carving a distinct valley through the high plains of western North Dakota. The area is defined by a rigorous section line road network, including thoroughfares like 12th St SW and 116th Ave SW, reflecting the systematic Public Land Survey System that partitioned the prairie for ranching and agriculture. The terrain rises and falls with characteristic high-elevation contours, occasionally interrupted by the drainages that feed into the local creek system. This 2024 map documents the modern rural infrastructure of the region, where long stretches of gravel roads like 18th St SW and 113th Ave SW connect isolated homesteads across several townships, maintaining the same land divisions established over a century ago.
