2020 Map of McKenzie

About this map

McKenzie sits at a critical junction of transport and terrain in North Dakota's Burleigh County, where the plains are defined by intricate drainage systems and low-lying wetlands. The landscape is dominated by the expansive McKenzie Slough, a significant hydrologic feature that transitions into the meandering paths of Random Creek and Random Cr. This area represents a classic prairie settlement pattern, where the township and range grid, including t139n r77w, dictates the placement of rural roads like Lincoln Rd and Co Hwy 10. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Pleasant View Cem, located just east of the primary settlement. The northern reaches are shaped by the flow of Apple Cr, illustrating the vital role these seasonal watercourses play in the agricultural geography of the region.
