2011 Map of Schaffner Creek

About this map

Schaffner Creek meanders through the central plains of North Dakota, defining the hydrology of this rural landscape within Dunn County. The terrain is marked by the distinct drainage of Ash Coulee and the more prominent Knife River to the south. This environment is characterized by a sparse, organized grid of section roads including 80th Ave SW and 14th St SW, which facilitate movement between isolated agricultural tracts. The map documents significant local landmarks such as Broncho Cemetery, a vital site for genealogical research in this part of the state. Further south, the Crowley Resort Airstrip indicates a modern adaptation of the landscape, providing aerial access to this quiet interior region. The proximity of the river and creek systems highlights the importance of water management in the northern prairie.
