About this map

North Killdeer Mtn dominates the northwestern horizon of this prairie landscape, where the high plains of Dunn County meet a network of seasonal drainages. The small settlement of Oakdale sits at the junction of several section-line roads, serving as a quiet focal point near the historic Oakdale Cem. This area reflects the typical township-and-range development of western North Dakota, with long, straight corridors like 109th Ave NW and Main St providing the primary structure for travel between ranches and local hubs.

Water management and local aviation define the southern portion of the quadrangle. The meandering paths of Jim Cr, Gumbo Cr, and Frank Cr carve subtle coulees through the terrain, essential for the cattle economy of the region. Near the southern boundary, the township borders the edge of Killdeer, anchored by the Dunn County Weydahl Field airport, which supports the logistical needs of this expansive agricultural and energy-producing territory.
