2024 Map of Pettibone

About this map

Pettibone anchors the northeast corner of this North Dakota landscape, a prairie community defined by its proximity to the vast Kidder County Waterfowl Production Area. This environment is a complex network of glacial potholes and seasonal wetlands, ranging from the open waters of South Lake and Bond Lake to the marshy reaches of Brock Slough. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Pettibone Bethlehem Cem near the town site and the Weiser Cem further south. The land is organized by a strict section-line road grid, including Main St and several numbered avenues, which carve through the undulating terrain of the Missouri Coteau. This survey captures a region where agriculture and conservation efforts coexist among numerous water bodies like Kunkel Lake and Ranch Lake.
