2020 Map of Snyder Lake

About this map

Mauvais Coulee meanders through this portion of Towner County, carving a distinct path through the prairie landscape as it heads toward Big Coulee. The rural character of the area is anchored by the small settlements of Crocus and Arndt, which serve as markers for a community defined by its township-and-range agricultural grid. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the location of the Brumbaugh Cem and Zion Cem, which remain as permanent fixtures amidst the shifting agricultural fields. Water features like Brumba Pool punctuate the terrain, reflecting the wetland dynamics typical of this region of North Dakota. The transportation network is dominated by a systematic grid of county roads, including Krueger Dr and 84th St NE, facilitating movement between the isolated farmsteads and larger regional centers via Route 281.
